Implementation

The implementation support section contains directions to support the introduction and use of Memory Mates. This can occur at varying levels within a school setting, including whole school, year level, individual class, support groups and individual students.

At the different levels the school roles may include Principal and School executive, School Counsellor / School Psychologist, Classroom Teacher, and Support Teachers. The fundamental role of the student is also emphasised and the support that can occur for the student in the home context.

We now have a new book, specifically for the home context: Parents’ guide: Memory Mates for working with your child at home. The guide is intended for use in conjunction with the revised classroom and teacher-oriented book: Memory Mates: A classroom-based intervention to improve attention and working memory in primary-aged students.
