Deeper Learning Hub is a network of educators, researchers, and policymakers who promote and scale the practices that result in deeper learning for all students. Deeper learning describes the competencies, skills, and dispositions needed for students to succeed in the twenty-first century work and civic life.
Deeper learning is based on the premise that the nature of work, civic, and everyday life is changing and therefore increasingly requires that formal education provides young people with mastery of skills like analytic reasoning, complex problem solving, and teamwork.
This report synthesizes research on the nature, importance, and development of skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, and collaboration that are often referred to as "deeper learning" or "21st century skills". It also identifies features of educational interventions that support the learning and teaching of these skills in formal and informal settings.
