ASE 2025 Scotland Region Conference

You say to them, “I really need you to prepare properly for this test so you don’t have your confidence knocked down again.” Their parents say, “You just need to work harder! Now get to your room and revise!” But their brain is saying, “I just don’t know what that means or how to do it!”

Pupils of all ages, stages and abilities find it really hard to organise and plan revision, or even know what successful revision looks like. There is a very good reason for this and in this session will teach you how to teach them about their learning brain; focussing on the structures of the learning brain, executive function and the importance of retrieval practice.
