A BLUEPRINT FOR DEEPER LEARNING

•Evidence supports the fact that learning becomes more efficient—with faster and deeper retention—when material is personally relevant and subjects are integrated. Even so, most conventional schools still teach subjects in isolation.

•Teachers can make learning more meaningful and effective by integrating subjects and connecting them to real-world problems, rather than presenting them in a compartmentalized manner only focused on the knowledge and not the application of it.

•Teachers who clearly communicate high expectations for students are better positioned to empower students to rise up to meet them.

•Professional learning communities enable teachers to integrate curricula, with time built into their daily schedules for planning and collaboration. It is absolutely essential that administrators (at the school, district, and state levels) clear the path for this to happen by providing support to teachers.
