Project Summary

The MMGH will give teachers the Memory Strategies to be able and deliver successful teaching for Students of difficult background or with special needs. Students with learning disabilities frequently struggle with memory retention, which unfortunately often leads to academic problems. Students with memory retention problems, especially those unable to retain information on a short-term basis, usually have poor problem-solving skills. Students struggling with remembering facts and information on a long-term basis, often struggle recalling details which they must know to pass exams. Many students struggle with short and long-term memory retention. However, various strategies can be utilized to improve these problems.

Memory, Focus and Good Teaching Can Work Together to Help students Learn Resources to make memorizing key facts more manageable for students with special needs. As one of the developer of Memory Methods stated: “The more you teach students how to learn, the less time you have to spend teaching curriculum because they can [understand] it on their own,”

An overall goal for students is to develop automatic strategy use, as this increases efficiency when learning and studying.

But eventually they will find that the use of strategies enhances their ability to organize and retrieve the information, consequently increasing learning efficiency.
