Questions

I’m interested in learning more about Deeper Learning strategies, but I don’t have the time to commit to a year-long cohort. What can you offer?

We have many one-time professional learning opportunities that only require an hour or two! Please refer to our Menu of Services to find something that suits your needs. Our team can also offer individual/PLC collaboration and coaching. Reach out to the DL Team Member that works with your zone/age range to get a meeting scheduled!

I'd like to join an application-based Deeper Learning opportunity (cohort, leave and learn, etc). What are some qualities of a strong application?

Most of our applications are created using Google Forms. We encourage all applicants to copy and paste the prompts/questions onto a separate document so that they can type and edit responses before entering them into the form for submission. We are generally looking for thoughtful and reflective explanations, and often we request an artifact (video, slidedeck, picture(s), etc). Artifacts and responses to prompts should be owned and authored solely by the applicant.

Where do I apply for a Deeper Learning Cohort?

Applications open at various times throughout the school year. We recommend expressing interest in joining a cohort to be notified when particular opportunities come up. You may also follow the team on Twitter (@JCPSDL) and check back on our cohort page to see if any cohorts are currently accepting applications.
