This webinar will provide teachers with an overview of the neuroscientific research into memory, and the implications this has for teachers.  It will cover the different types of memories, how they are formed, and the observable difficulties that might emerge if children have a specific learning need in these areas.  If you are unsure as to the difference between retention and recall, wonder why our brain needs to forget things, or are curious as to how when anxiety is conducive to learning,  this session will answer those questions, drawing on decades of medical and psychological research.  It is designed for teachers of the young and old looking to build evidence-based practices into their pedagogy, whether an NQT or an instructional coach.
