Dive into Deep Learning & Engage the World Change the World
The leading experts in system change and learning, with their school-based partners around the world, have created this essential companion to their runaway best-seller, Deep Learning: Engage the World Change the World. This hands-on guide provides a roadmap for building capacity in teachers, schools, districts, and systems to design deep learning, measure progress, and assess conditions needed to activate and sustain innovation.
Dive Into Deep Learning: Tools for Engagement is rich with resources educators need to construct and drive meaningful deep learning experiences in order to develop the kind of mindset and know-how that is crucial to becoming a problem-solving change agent in our global society. Designed in full color, this easy-to-use guide is loaded with tools, tips, protocols, and real-world examples. It includes:
- A framework for deep learning that provides a pathway to develop the six global competencies needed to flourish in a complex world — character, citizenship, collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking.
- Learning progressions to help educators analyze student work and measure progress.
- Learning design rubrics, templates and examples for incorporating the four elements of learning design: learning partnerships, pedagogical practices, learning environments, and leveraging digital.
- Conditions rubrics, teacher self-assessment tools, and planning guides to help educators build, mobilize, and sustain deep learning in schools and districts.
Learn about, improve, and expand your world of learning. Put the joy back into learning for students and adults alike. Dive into deep learning to create learning experiences that give purpose, unleash student potential, and transform not only learning, but life itself.
Engage the World Change the World
Deep Learning has claimed the attention of educators and policymakers around the world. This book not only defines what deep learning is, but takes up the question of how to mobilize complex, whole-system change and transform learning for all students.
Deep Learning is a global partnership that works to: transform the role of teachers to that of activators who design experiences that build global competencies using real-life problem solving; and supports schools, districts, and systems to shift practice and how to measure learning in authentic ways.

Endorsements
This book elevates deep learning to a systemic approach to enhance professional, social, and cultural capital. It is built on the deep belief that all students can learn if school systems shift from sorting talent, to developing the talent of diverse learners. Deep Learning’s power lies in providing practical advice to help good practice become culture.
Andreas Schleicher, Special Advisor on Education Policy to OECD’s Secretary-General, and Director of PISA
This book offers a powerful set of ideas to enable deeper learning on a large scale. It provides examples at every level of the system—from student and teacher to classroom, school, and state—suggesting how learning may be radically redesigned to change schooling as we know it.
Linda Darling-Hammond, President, Learning Policy Institute, and Charles E. Ducommun Professor Emeritus, Stanford University
Deep Learning is a groundbreaking book that explores how to make more profound learning experiences available to a broad range of students. An invaluable resource for educators interested in furthering equity and tapping into the intrinsic curiosity of students.
Pedro A. Noguera, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Education, UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies
This book takes us on an exciting journey exploring why and how to deepen learning, and in so doing enables the teaching profession to rediscover the joy of teaching.
Lynn Davie, Director, Learning and Teaching Branch, Department of Education and Training, Victoria, Australia
Drawing upon decades of experience and with an eye toward our precarious future, Michael Fullan, Joanne Quinn, and Joanne McEachen, have written a comprehensive and practical guide that deconstructs the how of education system change. It is a must-read for those preparing our children for the complex, interdependent world they will inherit.
