A thoughtful gathering to explore In Search of Deeper Learning and its meaning for the future of learning.


In Search of Deeper Learning by Jal Mehta and Sarah Fine from the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
Even though it was written six years ago the book feels especially relevant now as we ask what kind of education young people need for the future and how it connects or does not connect to the system we have had for the past century.
This is not a year long book club or another standing commitment. It is just one book, two chapters, and a one hour conversation. If this experiment is meaningful we will do it again. If not, we will walk away with some new ideas and a good read under our belts.
We will send you a copy of the book or audiobook if you prefer.
You will read two selected chapters.
We will gather for a one hour conversation that is meant to be light and lively.
Because this is a chance to slow down together and think deeply about learning at a time when everything feels like it is speeding up.
Because reflecting side by side with others creates a different kind of meaning. We notice things we might not see on our own.
Because we bring our own stories and experiences and leave with new perspectives.
