Deeper Learning Research Series: Equal Opportunity For Deeper Learning

This paper makes a compelling case for “student-centered” practices in the nation’s high schools. The paper does not offer a prescriptive agenda.  But the authors do argue, and the evidence strongly suggests, that students benefit when given ample opportunities to:  

Participate in ambitious and rigorous instruction tailored to their individual needs and interests

Advance to the next level, course, or grade based on demonstrations of their skills and content knowledge

Learn outside of the school and the typical school day

Take an active role in defining their own educational pathways.
