Differentiation Through Learning Styles and Memory

This book demonstrates how to optimise learning by using brain-based strategies that address students’ social/emotional, cognitive and physical learning preferences.

It provides you with graphic organisers, current research on memory and new charts to help implement differentiated strategies. It also offers:
• An explanation of how the brain processes, stores and retains information
• Pre-assessment strategies for each learning style (visual, auditory and kinaesthetic)
• ‘Reflect and connect’ questions to help teachers evaluate their current classroom practice
• Learning and memory tips for students
• ‘Exit cards’ or quick assessments of what students have learned.

The book covers sensory memory, immediate memory, working memory, long term memory, plus explicit and implicit memory.
