Deeper learning is a growing movement of educators committed to better equipping students with the skills needed in the 21st century.
Key to this learning approach is empowering students to apply knowledge to real-world challenges.
The Deeper Learning movement has been promoted by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. To help define this movement, a specific set of educational outcomes were defined:
- Mastery of rigorous academic content - Critical thinking and problem-solving skills - The ability to work collaboratively - Effective oral and written communication - Learning how to learn - Developing and maintaining an academic mindset
The concept of Deeper Learning integrates closely with the ideas of Design Thinking and Agile Learning.
