Overview
As we build our network of proof point schools, it is critical that they identify key concepts and practices that unify them. High Tech High’s rigorous teacher evaluation and development program is a leading example of professional support for deeper learning. With this grant, it would be able to gather information on best practices in teacher professional development and evaluation across all schools in our network and create a white paper that defines those standards for deeper learning.

Grants to this Grantee
for identifying, cultivating, and showcasing exemplary schools to advance deeper learning
Over the past three years, the Program provided project support to the Deeper Learning Network (DLN), a "network of networks" consisting of ten school reform models totaling some 500 public schools across the country. The DLN has helped make the case for the viability of deeper learning, offering examples of it in action and providing locations for site visits by policymakers. We will provide "tie off" grants to the DLN in order to refocus our funding on research that addresses policy reform needs, development of new assessments of the harder-to-measure deeper learning competencies, and capacity building for educators to understand and make use of student achievement evidence.
for identifying, cultivating, and showcasing exemplary schools to advance deeper learning
This is one of ten grants to members of the Deeper Learning Network to showcase exemplary schools, nurture the deeper learning movement, prepare for school site visits by decision makers, and integrate Common Core standards into their curricula.
