Overview
Over the next two years, Learning Matters proposes to produce five to eight reports a year on deeper learning to be broadcast on the PBS NewsHour. The reports, which may become part of a documentary, will demonstrate this pedagogical approach by profiling a number of best practices around the country. The goal is to promote dialogue in the United States about quality practices in education and the purpose of schooling.
