SCOE U: Learning That Lasts: Reflection and Retrieval Strategies

If you lead trainings, learning sessions or facilitate network meetings, this session is for you! Offered by Sacramento-based Katrina Kennedy, who, for over 26 years, has been transforming how organizations approach learning through evidence-based, interactive training methods to design and deliver learning that lasts. Her upcoming book, Learning That Lasts reflects her passion for equipping trainers and facilitators with strategies that increase the likelihood learners remember what we taught. 

Do you wonder if participants implement their training? Or if they’re able to recall things you’ve covered when they are back on the job? In this session, we’ll explore retrieval practice methods and identify the science behind why they matter for every learner. We’ll identify the reasons you can’t skip retrieval practice in your next class or one-on-one learning moment. At the end of this session, you will be able to:

• Describe retrieval practice as a learning strategy for the workplace
• Identify 6 methods of retrieval practice
• Develop a retrieval practice method for use in your own training
