Dimensions of Learning

Dimensions of Learning is a comprehensive model that uses what researchers and theorists know about learning to define the learning process. Its premise is that five types of thinking — what we call the five dimensions of learning — are essential to successful learning. The Dimensions framework will help you to maintain a focus on learning, study the learning process, and plan curriculum, instruction, and assessment that takes into account the five critical aspects of learning.

What is Spaced Learning?

Creating long-term memories is at the core of education. Yet it was not until 2005 that the key discovery was published in Scientific American explaining exactly how long-term memories are formed in the brain. Since then, staff of Monkseaton High School have been working on translating this discovery into real experiences for children, creating a solution called ‘Spaced Learning’.
