Research School Network: Working Memory: Research Into Practice Bradford Research School and the Centre for Applied Education Research invite you to join us for this free event.

Given how important working memory is for learning, and for success in the classroom, it is essential that we create a teaching environment that supports children’s working memory, and, in particular, supports children with reduced working memory abilities.

In this workshop, we will explore the evidence. What do we know about Working Memory and what implication does that have for teachers and school leaders?

This session will be useful for anyone who works with pupils on schools. We will focus on the recommendations from our collaboration between teachers and academics:

• Recognise and identify working memory problems
• Evaluate working memory demands
• Reduce the working memory demands of tasks
• Provide memory aids
• Teach the use of memory-supporting strategies
