Seabra, 2016). Educators model the use of working memory constantly &#8211; every time they answer a question or provide a new lesson. Students at all levels need to use working memory to manage their learning. Their learning, especially their ease of learning, depends on strong working memory skills. Dias &amp; Seabra (2016) saw that educator supported working memory development was carried on by students one year later.<\/p>\n<p>Higher working memory skills allow students to better manage everyday tasks such as following instructions, and tasks that require holding information in the mind such as literacy and numeracy (Mann, et al., 2017).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class='card'><div class='card-header' role='tab' id='References-0'><a data-toggle='collapse' data-parent='#accordion0' href='#collapseOneReferences-0' aria-expanded='false' aria-controls='collapseOneReferences-0'><h3 class='mb-0'><em class='fas fa-angle-down rotate-icon'><\/em> References<\/h3><\/a><\/div><div id='collapseOneReferences-0' class='collapse' role='tabpanel' aria-labelledby='collapseOneReferences-0' data-parent='#accordion0'><div class='card-body'><p>Dawson, P., &amp; Guare, R.
