Welcome Deeper Learners!

We are excited to welcome you to Westwood, MA at the end of September. The Deeper Learning Boston conference has a rich history. Although this is our inaugural year of the conference, the Deeper Learning movement began in the Northeast region and spread domestically and globally from there. Please enjoy this short background on the conference itself, where we honor "On Whose Shoulders We Stand: A Brief History"

This digital program is for all things DL Boston! Be sure to select one Deep Dive for Day 1 and two Den Talks for Day 2. You will only be able to sign up for one Deep Dive! These sessions have capacity limits and will fill up. To see an overview of the event and session types, check out the event flow.

We can’t wait to see you!

Outdoor Experiential Learning as Culturally & Historically Responsive Pedagogy

Log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!


In this Deep Dive, you will spend a day in the woods participating in hands-on activities about the intersections between outdoor experiential learning and Gholdy Muhammad’s framework for culturally and historically responsive pedagogy.  Participants will reflect and discuss ways that they can transform their own teaching and learning practices to increase engagement, identity and leadership development, and authentic assessment in their schools. Students and staff from Intrepid Academy at Hale will facilitate a day of team building, outdoor skill building, collaborative discovery, and creativity. Ample time will be provided to synthesize your learning, and to make a plan to bring this framework back to your schools. This session is for all of us: classroom educators, college students, support staff, school leaders, & administrators.
