Description: Help students move beyond cramming and truly learn how to study more effectively. In this interactive session, educators will explore how to design and use UDL-aligned study and retrieval practice strategies that strengthen memory, build confidence, and promote independent learning. Participants will examine the science of retrieval practice, practical approaches that make studying more active, and tools that can support the creation of flexible, personalized study guides. Leave with ready-to-use strategies and templates that make studying more meaningful — for every learner.
Objectives:
- Understand the cognitive science of retrieval practice and its connection to long-term learning.
- Learn how to design and teach students to use UDL-informed study guides that support varied learners.
- Explore classroom strategies that create more opportunities for targeted practice.
- Experiment with tools that help build dynamic, accessible study materials.
- Apply new approaches to an upcoming unit or assessment to enhance information retrieval.
