Intro to Deeper Learning with Jal Mehta
Friday, March 11th 12-1:30pm ET/9-10:30am PT
All over the world, school is changing. Faced with all the possibilities, inequities, anxieties, and complexities of contemporary life, educators and students alike are balking at an inherited approach to schooling that does little to prepare students for those challenges. They are finding ways to orient student work around meaningful questions and practices, replacing coverage with mastery of knowledge, busy-work with disciplined creativity, and one-size-fits-all with a diversity of promising approaches. We describe this as a reorientation towards deeper learning. In aspiring to give all students access to deeper learning, we are aiming for all students to have experiences that develop their mastery, identity, and creativity. Above all, deeper learning is about young people experiencing learning that is connected.
In this session, we will explore the following questions:
1) What is deeper learning?
2) What does deeper learning look like in practice?
3) How would we need to change schools to make deep learning more prevalent?
