Just when you thought you'd heard and seen it all, from ethnic studies classes featuring Aztec chants from human sacrifice rituals, to AA studies in elementary school featuring BLM principles like "Dismantle the nuclear family," to Comprehensive Sex Ed featuring an activity where 8th graders pretend a Pizza is sex, and the toppings are their favorite kinds of sex (guess what olives are), and of course the seemingly-staid-by-comparison typical CRT lesson...comes "Deeper Learning."
Just when I thought schools were doing all they could possibly do to create a nation of narcissists, we get this:
"Deeper Learning is defined as grade level work that is relevant, real-world, and interactive. Deeper Learning leads to student demonstration of Mastery, Identity, and Creativity.
Mastery is evident when all students develop the knowledge or skills outlined in the standards and practices, with the ability to transfer that knowledge across situations.
Identity is evident when all students become more invested in the discipline by thinking of themselves as active agents who do that kind of work. To support a shift in thinking from "I'm learning about biology" to "I am a biologist", educators affirm students' cultural and racial heritage and leverage their funds of knowledge, experiences and interests.
Creativity is evident when all students shift from receiving knowledge of a discipline to acting or making something within the discipline. Students engage with tasks that have multiple paths to multiple potential, standards-aligned solutions."
