💬 Peer-to-peer Explanations When students explain what they’ve learned to peers, fading memories are reactivated, strengthened, and consolidated. This strategy not only increases retention but also encourages active learning. 7/12

Psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus found that without any reinforcement or connections to prior knowledge, information is quickly forgotten—roughly 56% in one hour, 66% after a day, and 75% after six days. So what can be done to preserve the hard work of teaching? 4/12

It’s often easier to remember information that’s been presented in different ways, especially if visual aids can help organize information. Students are more likely to remember what’s been read *and* seen, instead of either one alone. 11/12

Our brains are wired to forget, but there are research-backed strategies you can use to make your teaching stick! 🧵 1/12 #EduSky

If “fake reading” is creeping into your classroom, you’re not alone. 🫠 Skimming and speed-reading may be rampant—but slowing down and actively engaging with text is where learning thrives. Here’s a strategy from literacy specialist Molly Ostergaard that encourages close reading. 🧵1/6 #literacy
