5) Dimensions of Learning Teacher's Manual, 2nd Edition (book)
Robert Marzano, Debra Pickering.
The premise of Dimensions of Learning--an instructional framework founded on the best of what researchers and theorists know about learning--is that five types, or dimensions, of thinking are essential to successful learning. These are positive attitudes and perceptions about learning, thinking involved in acquiring and integrating knowledge, thinking involved in extending and refining knowledge, thinking involved in using knowledge meaningfully, and productive habits of mind. Dimensions of Learning is a valuable tool for reorganizing curriculum, instruction, and assessment.

The authors discuss each of the five dimensions in detail and describe hundreds of teaching strategies that support them--for example, how to help students construct meaning for declarative knowledge, internalize procedural knowledge, and see the relevance of what they are expected to learn. The authors provide many examples at the elementary and secondary classroom levels. Teachers of grades K-12 can use this information to improve teaching and learning in any content area. Also included in the manual are Unit Planning Guides--to help teachers build the five dimensions into their instruction--and guidelines for assessment, including Teacher Observation and Student Self-Assessment Forms for each dimension. 8 ½" x 11" manual with spiral binding and tabs, about 350 pp.
