Deeper Learning with Jal Mehta

What this episode covers

What does a typical high school classroom look like? For many, it means rote memorization, worksheets, and passing notes under the desk. It is surface level learning that does not promote mastery or engagement. In this episode, host Nat Malkus talks to Jal Mehta about his new book, In Search of Deeper Learning: The quest to Remake the American High School (with Sarah Fine). Professor Mehta describes classrooms across the country where deeper learning is taking place, the features that made them distinctive, and why deeper learning is not more common across the country.
