Synopsis

Educators have long upheld the virtues of learning by doing. Still, the majority of U.S. Schools continue their attempts to engage some 50 million students through conventional methods such as lectures, note-taking, and rote-learning. In Deeper Learning, Monica Martinez, an award-winning education strategist, and education sociologist Dennis McGrath offer a transformative framework for learning with the potential to support the development and success of every student.
