What do new teachers need to know about memory?

Today's episode of 'Beyond Survival: The New Teacher podcast' is with Jonathan Firth and Nasima Riazat. Jonathan is an author, teacher and researcher focused on the psychology of education.  Nasima is an author, lecturer and school leader. They are also the authors of an excellent new book 'What Teachers Need to Know about Memory'. 

In this episode we answer: what do new teachers need to know about memory? 

I also ask Jonathan and Nasima: 

1.       What is memory?

2.       What is the difference between long term and working memory? Why is this important in the classroom? 

3.       What are some steps teachers can take to support students' capacity to remember information in the classroom? 

4.       Are mnemonics effective in helping students to recall content? 

5.  Any final things about memory that teachers need to know?
