As educators, we know when students tune in -- and we know when they tune out. The more elusive question is why. There is emerging consensus that the 20th-century approach to education, which favors methods such as lectures and rote learning, is standing in the way of making school relevant to more students.

Fortunately, research is catching up with our intuition and validating the practices that we know work in the classroom. One vision in particular, about what students should be able to do and know, is picking up steam. It's called deeper learning.

The Benefits
Deeper learning is a set of learning outcomes for students that include:

Mastery of core academic content
Critical thinking and problem solving
Productive collaboration
Effective communication
An ability to direct their own learning and exhibit a strong academic mindset.

Paul's words matter, y'all. They are a tangible reminder that it is OUR fault when kids think school is pointless.

The simple truth is that engaging learners means helping students to see the value -- to themselves, to their communities, to the world -- in every single lesson.

What does it mean to be a great teacher? In the second part of this article, Matt Bromley continues his focus on the traits and skills of ‘master teachers’

Great teachers create opportunities to increase purposeful peer interaction, help establish and consolidate new norms of teachers working together, and build respect for each other. Great teachers pull or draw people in with the energy and excitement of their own committed practice and also push and nudge colleagues forwards with their relentless commitment to being better and doing better for all their students. Therefore, great teachers have to trust processes of peer interaction as well as particular people. These processes are ones that maximise their organisation’s collective capabilities and improve its problem-solving capacities.
