The Art of Making Learning Stick: Understanding Retention and Retrieval

Course overview

Research indicates that up to 75% of what we learn is forgotten within the first 48 hours. Why does this happen? Where does the information go? This fast-paced, 90-minute, view-on-demand, recorded webinar helps teachers, parents, and pediatric therapists understand the process of turning exposure into true learning, and true learning into long-term gains. Explore how simple rehearsal and retrieval strategies can provide permanent gains with our students and clients. The presenter includes resources, games, and activities to aid in the process. At the end of this course, you will be able to (1) list the retention, rehearsal, retrieval process, (2) identify three key interruptions to the memory-retrieval process, and (3) examine supporting research for the use of drama interventions with children with social and emotional challenges. This distance-learning, independent format is offered at 0.15 CEUs, Introductory Level, OT Service Delivery, and targeted to introductory- to intermediate-level OTs, COTAs, educators, and other pediatric professionals.
