Our colleague, sociologist Jal Mehta, received a grant to study examples of deep learning in secondary schools across the United States. He and his team visited schools identified as engaging in deep learning. Months later he reported that sadly they found hardly any examples of what would constitute authentic deep learning (Mehta & Fine, 2015). He then set out his interpretation in a blog that he titled “Deeper Learning: 10 Ways You Can Die” (Mehta & Fine, 2016).
