| Summary |
Studies suggest that up to half of high school dropouts leave school because their classes are boring or irrelevant to their lives and aspirations. Yet the majority of U.S. schools continue their attempts to engage some 50 million students through conventional methods such as lectures, note-taking, and rote learning, often with dismal results. In Deeper Learning, award-winning education strategist Monica Martinez and education sociologist Dennis McGrath offer a transformative framework for learning that has led to standout results in schools across the country and has the potential. |
|
Arguing that U.S. educational methods are failing today's young people, a blueprint for alternative learning draws on the examples of eight public schools that use flexible teaching to meet the needs of individual students. |
