What is Deeper Learning?

Although the job market in the United States has changed significantly over the past few decades, our K-12 classrooms still operate the same way they did in the industrial era 100 years ago. The students of today need more than basic math and English skills to succeed in the workplace of the future. They need to engage in Deeper Learning.

Deeper Learning is a set of six competencies that students need to succeed in and out of the classroom.

Deeper Learning Competencies

Content EXPERTISE

Students develop key competencies, skills, and dispositions with ample opportunities to apply knowledge and engage in work that matters to them.

CRITICAL THINKING & PROBLEM SOLVING​

Students consider a variety of innovative approaches to address and understand complex questions that are authentic and important to their communities.

Collaboration

Students co-design projects with peers, exercise shared-decision making, strengthen relational agency, resolve conflict, and assume leadership roles.

EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

Students practice listening to understand, communicating with empathy, and share their learning through exhibiting, presenting and reflecting on their work.

Self Directed Learning

Students use teacher and peer feedback and self-reflection to monitor and direct their own learning while building self knowledge both in and out of the classroom.

Academic Mindset

Students establish a sense of place, identity, and belonging to increase self-efficacy while engaging in critical reflection and action.

What is the
Deeper Learning Hub?

The Deeper Learning Hub is a strategic response to the question: How do we achieve deeper learning outcomes in an educational system that is largely disconnected and undergoing change? Funded by Hewlett Foundation, with the goal of promoting, developing and scaling the practices that result in deeper learning for all students, we focus on connecting the efforts of teachers, school leaders, districts, policymakers, researchers and the field. We seek to spread high leverage practices that support deeper learning outcomes,  build the collective capacity of districts, schools, and organizations to spread deeper learning practices, and connect scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to each other.
