Pilot 5D: Focus on Purpose

5 Dimensions of Teaching and Learning

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.

This is the first module from our series on the 5 Dimensions of Teaching and Learning (5D), which was made possible with generous support from the Stuart Foundation. Though it is formatted as an online course, it is intended as a collection of professional development resources to guide group study.

Currently, these materials are only available to district partners who have been chosen to participate in our pilot study. For more information and/or to be added to a mailing list to receive future updates, please contact Lara Lyons at lyonsl@u.washington.edu or 206-221-6882.
