Do I Have Your Attention? Understanding Memory Constraints and Maximizing Learning

By Blake Harvard

Do I Have Your Attention? explores memory processing, how students learn, and offers practical guidance to help teachers tailor their instruction to be the most efficient and effective for learning.

Drawing on evidence from cognitive science, Part I offers an easy-to-understand explanation of the process of memory and highlights certain barriers that hinder students' ability to learn. Part II introduces over a century of research into two widely applicable learning strategies and, drawing on the author's extensive teaching experience, demonstrates a plethora of classroom applications that maximize learning while working within the known constraints of human memory.

Part of The InnerDrive Teacher CPD Academy series that offers a deep dive into the key areas that matter to teachers, this is essential reading for all teachers and school leaders who want evidence-based strategies which focus on impact in the classroom in sustainable and meaningful ways.
