Teaching how to learn

Clipped to the Drawing Board by Administrator

Did you know Trivia - Researchers at Durham University, England believe that student under achievement can be due to poor working memory rather than low intelligence. The researchers have developed a checklist -- the Working Memory Rating Scale -- as well as tools to help teachers identify and help children who may have this problem, which researchers said is probably genetically based.
"From the various large-scale studies we have done, we believe the only way children with poor working memory can go on to achieving academic success is by teaching them how to learn despite their small capacity to store information mentally," lead researcher Dr. Tracy Alloway of Durham University said in a statement.
