In this conversation, Blake Harvard also discusses the importance of retrieval practice in education, emphasising its role in enhancing memory retention and reducing test anxiety.
He shares practical strategies for teachers to incorporate retrieval and spaced practice into their classrooms, highlighting the significance of creating habits around retrieval.
The discussion also touches on the psychological aspects of learning, including how stress affects memory formation and the importance of understanding the context of learning. Harvard concludes with advice for new teachers, encouraging them to focus on key teaching principles and allow themselves time to grow in their profession.

This week I am joined Dr Jo Castelino who is a secondary Science teacher based in Yorkshire. Jo has a TLR for leading homework in her school and has recently shared her knowledge of how homework can become a successful part of schooling at ResearchEd.
Jo writes about her work on her blog which can be found here. I would recommend this article Jo wrote for Impact where she discusses how homework, done well, can become a ‘significant motivator for learning.’
In this episode we discuss the following and so much more:
How we get it right so that homework becomes a ‘significant motivator for learning.’
How we get students to do their homework.
What makes for effective homework.
How important it is that homework becomes a habit and embedded within the routine of schooling.
How we ensure homework doesn’t further disadvantage disadvantaged students.
I learned so much from Jo in this conversation. She highlights some key things we should all consider and demonstrates the importance of thinking deeply about what we do with regards to homework.

This week's podcast is a little different as I am joined by my friends Arthur and Mike from the T and Teaching podcast for a brilliant crossover episode.
In this episode we share six things that we have learned from our respective podcasts which are:
Understanding how students learn needs to form a greater part of teacher training and CPD
The teaching profession needs supervision as much as coaching
Teaching well is relationship building
A focus on improving teaching improves almost everything in schools
Teachers don't need a deep understanding of cognitive science in order to effectively embed it in their practices
Schools need to do more to support parent teachers
