Increasing Opportunities for Deeper Learning
This webinar is a part of the Learning Policy Institute’s Achieving Equity Through Deeper Learning webinar series that focuses on why deeper learning is crucial for students in today’s innovation economy and how we can achieve greater equity in access to deeper learning. This webinar addresses ways that schools and school districts can improve academic achievement, particularly among students who are furthest from opportunity, through engaging students in learning that focuses on meaningful mastery of subjects, critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and other skills necessary for college, career, and civic participation in the 21st century. It includes real-world examples of schools and districts that have successfully expanded access to deeper learning for students from underserved populations and addresses potential obstacles to successful implementation.
