See how Amber Turner, a French teacher at Alfred Deakin High School, uses spacing and retrieval practice in her classes.

Spacing and retrieval involves separating learning over multiple lessons and providing opportunities for students to recall what they have learned. This helps to commit learning to long-term memory.

This checklist is a list of practical steps teachers can take to support the adoption of the evidence-based practice spacing and retrieval in their setting.

Examples of practice demonstrate effective practice in different education settings. You can use them to think about how to apply the practice in your own context.
