Beyond Flashcards: An Anti-Boring MasterClass

Most students have never actually been taught how to study — and honestly, many educators haven’t either.

Left to our own devices, we fall back on what looks like studying: rereading, reviewing, rewriting… and flashcards ad nauseam.

But here’s the problem:

Rereading and highlighting feel productive — but rarely stick.
Flashcards, when used passively, barely make a dent.
Many students give up before it pays off — bored, overwhelmed, or both.

There’s a better way — it’s called retrieval practice, or the art of quizzing yourself.

Sure, flashcards count. But if that’s the only tool in your students’ toolbox, they’re missing out on a world of smarter, stickier strategies.

Welcome to Beyond Flashcards — a live (and Anti-Boring!) masterclass where you’ll learn how to help students:

Grasp the brain-based science of retrieval practice so they understand why it works

Learn the Study Cycle mini-lecture that turns research into a 3-step routine they’ll remember

Build retrieval-rich study plans that fit different brains, subjects, and motivation levels

Make the most of flashcards — then go beyond them with dozens of creative retrieval alternatives

Now’s the perfect time to help students course-correct before old habits set in.

And yes, there is a replay if you can't come live! We aim to please.

Swap “review” for real retrieval — so students actually remember what they study when it counts.

Back it up with brain science — give students quick evidence so they believe you before they try it.

Pick from 30+ retrieval strategies — and match the right one to the subject, situation, or student brain.

Bust the boredom factor — rotate strategies and use fresh, anti-boring twists on flashcards.

Adapt study routines to neurodivergence — finding methods that play to strengths instead of struggles.

Build personalized, evidence-based study plans that stick — so tests bring calm & confidence, not panic & anxiety.

Monitor their own learning progress — and adjust long before test-week panic

Shift students’ study mindset — from “this doesn’t work for me” to “I can actually do this.”

Plus more, driven by your questions — bring real student scenarios for tailored coaching.

Enter your bullet points here..

1. What if I can’t attend live on the day of the masterclass?

No problem at all! A full replay of the 3-hour masterclass will be sent to all registrants, along with a replays of the follow-up Community Call. You’ll still get tons of value if you treat it as a self-paced training.

2. Will this be relevant for classroom teachers?

Yes! Especially if you're a teacher who wants to be more “coach-like” in your approach. While many tools come from 1:1 academic coaching, we’ll specifically explore how to adapt them for classroom use—and there’s a dedicated section in the handout just for teachers.

3. What’s included in the $197 price?

Your registration includes the live masterclass, a follow-up community call for questions, all session replays, an incredibly thorough handout, and, if desired, a certificate for 5 hours of professional development.

4. Is this appropriate for new or aspiring academic coaches?

Definitely. Whether you’re just getting started or already supporting students 1:1, this training and tracker will create a foundation for your coaching practice, deepen your toolkit, and show you how to apply brain science in real-world ways during high-stress academic moments.

5. Will the tools support neurodivergent learners?

Yes. All my anti-boring strategies are designed to be flexible and brain-based—meaning they’re especially helpful for students with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or executive function challenges. But they work great for neurotypical students, too!

6. Can I register a group or bring my team?

Yes! We offer a 20% discount for teams of 4 or more. Just email us at officewiz@antiboringlearninglab.com, and we’ll get you set up with group pricing and registration support.

7. I’m already a member of the Anti-Boring Learning Lab. Do I need to pay?
Nope! This masterclass is included in your membership. Check the Learning Lab dashboard for how to join live or access replays.

8. I work with college students. Is this still relevant?
Absolutely! In fact, college students may need this even more than students in more formally structured school and home environments. This masterclass will help you give your students a tool to proactively track their progress and celebrate their wins.

9. Do you offer official CEUs for teachers or the International Coaching Federation?
Not at this time. As a small company, it’s a bit too complex for us to register with every state and organization. However, you will receive a certificate of completion for 5 professional development hours. Many educators are able to submit this to their schools or use it for continuing ed credit. You can also post it to LinkedIn to celebrate your accomplishment—we’ll cheer you on!

10. Is this geared more toward new or experienced educators?
Both! Whether you’re just starting out as a tutor or academic coach, or you’ve been in the classroom for years, this masterclass offers a mix of practical tools, updated research, and reflective prompts to deepen your work. Newbies get a roadmap. Veterans get fresh inspiration.

11. Will this work even for students who insist their grades have nothing to do with their habits? Yes! The Habits & Grades Tracker makes the connection crystal clear. When students can see their daily choices alongside their grades over time, the “aha!” moment happens naturally — no lectures required.

12. What about students who shut down the moment we talk about missing work or low grades--will this help there, too? Absolutely. The tracker shifts the focus from blame to problem-solving. Instead of feeling attacked, students engage with concrete data and can help identify small, doable changes that lead to big wins.

13. Do I need to have a background in neuroscience or executive function to benefit from this?
Not at all. We’ll break the science down into easy-to-understand frameworks and provide language you can use directly with students. No jargon, just useful tools.

14. Do you offer refunds?

Because this is a digital professional development experience with immediate access to materials and replays, we don’t offer refunds. That said, we’re confident you’ll find the content valuable, and we encourage you to reach out with any questions before purchasing. Thanks for understanding—it helps us keep our small business sustainable.

15. I’ve already learned the Anti-Boring Toolkit. Is this still worth it for me?

Absolutely! This masterclass builds on the Study Cycle foundation you already know — adding fresh tweaks to the mini-lecture, a handy checklist to hit every key point, new retrieval-science insights (including for neurodivergent learners), 30+ brand-new retrieval strategies and subject-specific tips, upgraded flashcard approaches, and quick brain-science stories for student buy-in. It’s a practical refresh with plenty that’s new — and new tools you've been asking me for for a long time.
