High Tech High Graduate School of Education

This grant would enable the High Tech High network, part of the Program’s Deeper Learning Network, to create a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) as an entry point for teachers worldwide who want to learn more about classroom practices that promote deeper learning. This support would also subsidize a conference on a High Tech High campus in spring 2014 aimed at illustrating the goals, policies, and practices that advance deeper learning on a large scale.

With this funding, High Tech High, one of our Proof Points school networks, would host the first annual national conference on deeper learning. Its goal will be to build a grassroots support movement for teachers and school leaders who want to deliver deeper learning to their students. All our Proof Points school networks will help lead the conference, along with the Beryl Buck Institute for Education, a professional development provider highly aligned with deeper learning.
