Why do students seem to understand a concept perfectly one day — and forget it by the next?
In this episode of Teacher Talks, we explore the science behind durable memory and what it really takes to help learning stick in Bangladeshi classrooms.

Drawing on global research and practical classroom experience, this episode breaks down the core findings from Evidence Based Teacher Development (EBTD) — showing how teachers and school leaders can move from short-term performance to long-term understanding.

We unpack:

• Why forgetting is not failure — it’s biology.

• How to beat the forgetting curve using four evidence-based tools: spaced practice, retrieval practice, interleaving, and dual coding.

• How to align curriculum and assessment for durable learning.

• The habits students need to self-regulate their own memory.

• How leaders can build a culture that protects recall time and rewards lasting knowledge.

This episode connects directly to EBTD’s Guide to Memory — a free multi-part series for teachers and leaders in Bangladesh, including:

• • How Memory Works
  • Designing Lessons for Durable Memory
• • Helping Students Regulate Their Memory
  • Memory, Curriculum & Assessment Alignment
