Deeper Learning: From Wonder to Inquiry to Practice

Deeper Learning: From Wonder to Inquiry to Practice is a course which seeks to help Christian educators develop deeper learning. We will consider what it means to be image-bearers of God called to care for our neighbours and to be engaged in real work that is part of God’s story. Our consideration of these ideas will inform classroom practices and signature pedagogies in apparent, unintended, and even transformative ways. Together we will examine the importance of global citizenship as a form of deeper learning and the impact it has on developing a caring and just world.

Deeper Learning: From Wonder to Inquiry to Practice

Deeper Learning is a course for instructional leaders. It explores learning as a journey from wonder to inquiry to practice. This course seeks to help Christian educators develop Deeper Learning within the context of:  

    1. A celebration of the learner - What does it mean to be created in God’s image? 

    2. A mindfulness towards learning design - How does curriculum, instruction and assessment inspire us to live out our lives as Kingdom Ambassadors who are intentional about character formation and loving our neighbours?  

    3. A responsiveness to culture - How do we embody our mission in every aspect of school life and live it out in God’s world?

Students will gain an understanding of global education and how it can inform one’s Deeper Learning pedagogy.

Deeper Learning

Deeper Learning is a course for instructional leaders. The course explores what student and teacher practices and classroom and school cultures look like when, “God’s story of restoration for here and now is embodied in deeper learning experiences that connect student mastery of knowledge and skills to character formation and the pursuit of beautiful work that meets real needs for real people” (DeBoer and Cook, “Deeper Learning into what?”).

Deeper Learning is a five-day intensive on-site and in-person course with further writing, reflection, and presentation requirements.
