Why does retrieval practice help pupils remember more? Why does cutting cognitive load make such a difference for learners with SEND? This session unpacks the key cognitive science principles behind effective teaching and learning — cognitive load, retrieval practice, dual coding, spaced practice, and scaffolding — and shows you how to turn the theory into practical, everyday classroom strategies.

You'll explore what happens when these principles are missing from a lesson, and leave with practical tools ready to try with your own pupil. Understand the science. Apply the strategies. See the difference!
