“As a result of the curriculum initiative, education officials found that students felt hopeless and disempowered.

3-dimensional learning is based on research into how children learn. Its key tenets include students observing and trying to make sense of phenomena before teacher explanations. Students engage in science or engineering practices and look for crosscutting concepts to understand core ideas.
