| 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: - 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
- 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.Materials Dimensions of Learning Teacher's Manual, 2nd ed. |
