Jal Mehta, professor of education at the Graduate School of Education (GSE), and Sarah Fine, Ed.M. ’13, Ed.D. ’17, visited 30 innovative public high schools across the country to examine where students were experiencing what the two call deeper learning. What they found was surprising: Even in the most celebrated schools, the learning that allows students to grow as thinkers and critical and creative learners is more often the exception than the rule.
