Webinar- Working Memory, Part II: Strategies for Children Who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing

Description:

Presenter: Johnett Scogin has worked in the field of Deaf Education for many years as a teacher and reading specialist.   She is currently working at the Texas School for the Deaf as Supervisor of Curriculum.  

No prerequisites for this webinar: This webinar follows the Spring, 2016 webinar in which Dr. Daniel Koo of Gallaudet University presented his research on working memory of children who are deaf or hard of hearing. Attendance at Dr. Koo’s webinar is not a prerequisite for this webinar.

Webinar Description: Evidence suggests that challenged working memory skills create a high risk factor for educational underachievement, and that working memory impacts all areas of learning and thinking. Ms. Scogin will briefly review the function of working memory in daily life and academics, and discuss how one might identify children with challenges in this area. She will then share ideas for setting up the learning environment to support working memory, and strategies to help facilitate and accommodate working memory performance.

Target Audience: Teachers and related service providers working with students who are deaf or hard of hearing; family members.
