5 Dimensions of Teaching and Learning

Improve Classroom Practice! There's no magic bullet to improving student learning. The key is the quality of teacher instruction. We realize how critical it is to provide coaches, content specialists and administrators with the skills necessary to support teachers in ways that intentionally influence classroom practice. It is for this reason that CEL's research-based 5 Dimensions of Teaching and Learning (5D) is comprised of the core elements of what constitutes effective teaching.

Effective instruction requires that teachers be clear about what it is they want students to know and be able to do as a result of each lesson and about how they will gauge students’ success. A clear purpose can guide teaching decisions, focus assessment efforts, and engage students in taking ownership for their learning.
