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

This guide outlines key practices for using spacing and retrieval in the classroom.

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.

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.

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.

This project aims to use research to help schools and school systems support students struggling with literacy and numeracy.

The Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) conducted an online survey and a series of interviews as part of a project commissioned by the AERO. The survey and interviews were focused on students in Years 7 to 9 who lack the foundational literacy and numeracy skills that are required to engage with a secondary curriculum.

This review aimed to identify gaps in knowledge about supporting students behind their peers in Years 7 and 9.
