When experiencing trauma, the brain shuts down all nonessential systems that moves to the lower brain systems (Lebow, 2021). After this occurs, it activates the nervous system and releases stress hormones that prepares for flight, fight, or freeze mode (Lebow, 2021). This affect student learning by creating dysfunction, anxiety, poor attention, and a decline in educational performance and engagement.

Short Term memory & Long Term Memory

mjohnsonjr918 — 2025-07-31 04:01:11 UTC

Short Term Memory - Refers to storage of memory for a short period of time that occurs in the prefrontal cortex of the brain (Psychology Today, 2025).

Long Term Memory - Contains information that makes a person how they are. They are durable and interchangeable, which can also evolve a memory based on retelling a story or on new information learned after an event (Marshal, 2022).

Retention

Research states that interleaved practice improves the retention in memory of new information and leads to results faster (DiTullio, 2021).

Transfer

mjohnsonjr918 — 2025-07-31 04:20:26 UTC

When students transfer their memory into long-term memory, it leads to faster and more inclusive results because their working memory doesn't have to work so hard to keep up (DiTullio, 2021).

Strategy #1: Retrieval Practice

mjohnsonjr918 — 2025-07-31 04:41:02 UTC

Using retrieval practice strategies helps students recall information that has been taught to them (DiTullio, 2021).

Strategy #2: Think-Pair-Share

mjohnsonjr918 — 2025-07-31 04:43:37 UTC

Activating background knowledge is important for the brain to connect new information, retain previous information and memory, and to collaborate with others (DiTullio, 2021).

Strategy #3: Turn & Talk
