A 5-lesson sequence designed for 11th-grade students to master the Cornell Note-Taking System. The curriculum focuses on reducing cognitive load and supporting working memory through structured page formatting, keyword identification, synthesis, and retrieval practice.
A specialized sequence for 6th-grade students with working memory challenges, focusing on transforming linear information into visual maps. Students learn to identify text structures through signal words, develop personal iconography, and master non-linear note-taking techniques to improve comprehension and recall.
This sequence shifts the focus from assistive technology to the cognitive strategies required for auditory learning. Students engage in inquiry-based activities to distinguish between passive hearing and active listening, applying specific comprehension strategies while using text-to-speech (TTS) to access grade-level texts.
A metacognitive sequence for 10th-grade students to identify working memory bottlenecks and design personalized visual support systems to enhance academic independence. Students transition from being accommodation recipients to active cognitive architects.
This inquiry-based sequence teaches 10th-grade students with working memory challenges how to use visual note-taking strategies to capture spoken information. Students explore the 'cognitive bottleneck,' practice spatial page segmentation, develop a personal visual shorthand, and use their notes for retrieval practice.
This sequence teaches 3rd-grade students verbal rehearsal strategies to improve auditory working memory. Students progress from vocal repetition to whispered self-talk and finally silent inner speech, using games and mnemonics to hold information active while completing complex tasks.
A targeted collection of visual phonics supports for 5th grade students with dyslexia. It features high-impact anchor charts and a compact one-page journal card sheet for daily decoding.
