In Deeper Learning Journal of Practice (DLJP), a peer-reviewed, online journal, authors share, analyze, and reflect on how they implement deeper learning for students or educators. Each article contains details of how the author provides a strategy, including structures and scaffolds that keep learners on track.
Practices described are relevant for adaptation to a range of grade levels.
DLJP’s goal is to increase deeper learning for all.
Deeper Learning Outcomes
Thinking carefully/critically and creatively for challenge-solving

Communicating effectively

Learning and living self-agency
DLJP agrees with Cochran-Smith & Lytle (2009) and Comber (2005); the dichotomy of inquiry and practice, of being a researcher or being a practitioner, is false. Highly effective educators, in any role, P-20, use a collection of theories from others and developed from practice, as they continuously invent and re-invent their practices.
