Deeper Learning Networks: Taking Student-Centered Learning and Equity to Scale

In examining how three networks (Big Picture Learning, Internationals Network for Public Schools, and New Tech Network) have re-created and sustained deeper learning models in dozens and sometimes hundreds of schools, this study found that they have done so by attending to multiple dimensions of change, ranging from structures to redesign schools and sustain deeper learning environments to partnerships with local stakeholders, robust systems of professional development, and systems for continuous improvement. The processes and systems have coalesced to support the sustainability and growth of these deeper learning models over time, helping to push against the obstacles that have often impeded fundamental change.
