Great work, Nidhi and Jim. "Retrieval practice" and "interleaving" deserve to be better known among teachers in Canada's K-12 schools.

Thank you! Yes, we agree that it should be an integral part of teacher education programs and also CPD with regular training on how it looks in classrooms (both f2f and online).

Thank you for this article, Jim and Nidhi! I have always described "retrieval practice + spacing + interleaving" as a powerful combo after 1620. In addition to helping my previous student pass his IELTS test, this combo provides great value to students at all levels. While I was facilitating workshops for Academic Success, I always add this combo to the presentation when time permitted. It has shown positive results!

That is so fantastic to read Linyi that you are continuing to take the messages from 1620 course further into your practice! And thanks again for sharing your insights and experiences. Always so great to read them here.
