McREL: Turning what works in teaching, leading, and learning into innovation and results
 

Dimensions of Learning Workshop
 

 
Goals/Objectives  

In this workshop, you will
  • explore strategies for each of the five dimensions of learning;
  • understand what types of knowledge are declarative and what types are procedural and know how to use the differences to refine instructional goals
  • Practice using instructional strategies in planning curriculum, instruction, and assessment

Description  Research has taken on an increasing importance in education. This three-day workshop focuses on Dimensions of Learning — an instructional framework founded on the best of what researchers and theorists know about learning.

This workshop provides a comprehensive overview of the Dimensions framework, which is based on the premise that five types, or dimensions, of thinking are essential to successful learning:

  1. Positive attitudes and perceptions about learning
  2. Thinking involved in acquiring and integrating knowledge
  3. Thinking involved in extending and refining knowledge
  4. Thinking involved in using knowledge meaningfully
  5. Productive habits of mind
Schools and districts are now putting a far greater emphasis on student learning; the learning process; and planning curriculum, instruction, and assessment that take into account these five dimensions.
