Deep Learning
From Practice to Theory
"When in doubt, it's better to examine your practice and that of others who seem to be getting somewhere than it is to reach for the bookshelf. New work on understanding the brain bears out this idea. We know that the brain is best fed through experience. When people experience something new, it connects with their feelings first, then their minds. When this leads to new behaviour, the latter sticks because it has emotional meaning. This is why I have stressed going from practice to theory."
Michael Fullan is a huge inspiration and deep learning will definitely be immersed in my curriculum design.

Deep learning experiences are thriving in the Korean school system. Preserving cultural traditions and strong family connections are central to Korean society. Parents and the community itself become partners in each child's learning and share their knowledge and experience.
