South Coast Educational Collaborative has introduced a Deep Learning framework in all of our classrooms to help our students achieve the highest level of success. This multi-year initiative has the potential to transform teaching and learning at SCEC by infusing deep learning at every level and in every role. South Coast Educational Collaborative has partnered with New Pedagogies for Deep Learning (NPDL) to achieve this goal. NPDL is a global partnership that works to transform the role of teachers to that of activators who design experiences that build global competencies using real-life problem solving, and supports schools, districts, and systems to shift practice and measure learning in authentic ways. This comprehensive strategy incorporates practical tools and processes to engage students, educators, and families in new partnerships and drive deep learning.
Deep Learning is the process of acquiring six global competencies: character, citizenship, collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. Four elements combine to create the new pedagogies and foster deep learning: pedagogical practices, learning environments, learning partnerships, leveraging digital.
