About
Deeper Learning begins with reimagining traditional learning through immersive experiences—especially in the outdoors and with the arts. Our conference theme, A Nexus of Opportunity: Radical Imagination for Learning, recognizes the unique moment we are living in to create transformative learning experiences. Whether you are inspired by the outdoors, the arts, a new piece of technology, or an innovative curriculum—finding ways to think beyond our typical limits can lead to radically new outcomes for youth and families.
Share space with regional change-makers ready to explore place-based learning, environmental justice, and creativity through the arts. We will bring a regional spin to dialogue, reflection, and inspiration that are part of the original Deeper Learning conference with teachers, educational leaders, facilitators, and artists from Boston and the surrounding Northeast region. We’re excited to partner with Hale Education in hosting this inaugural Deeper Learning Boston conference in Westwood and Dover, MA. The DL Boston Experience will take place at Hale’s 1,000-acre outdoor campus and at the Westwood High School campus — both located 10 miles from downtown Boston.
Deeper Learning Global (DLg) aims to build regional Deeper Learning networks through smaller conferences held across the globe. These events are inspired by and affiliated with the international Deeper Learning (DL) conference in San Diego. The regional versions of DL yield lasting connections among participants by utilizing a cadre of local facilitators, speakers, musicians and artists to engage in collaborative and transformative learning experiences for educators.
Schedule
DL Boston is a collective experience rooted in radical joy and focused on connecting educators in this region. The event launches Friday, 9/30 and concludes Saturday, 10/1. Jump into outdoor Deep Dives, engage with regional educational luminaries in the den talks, or be inspired by our dynamic keynote to build the deeper learning movement in your region.
Day 1 is all about connecting and experiencing deeper learning for yourself through immersive deep dive sessions. This entire day is spent outdoors with minimal technology at Hale and is filled with opportunities to engage with other attendees in smaller group sessions as well as a whole group conference kick-off and reception.
Day 2 will build on the connections from Day 1 through advisory and the Share Your Learning Showcase where you will reflect and engage in dialogue. This day will be held at the nearby Westwood High School campus. You’ll be inspired to keep the momentum going by our den talks and closing keynote.
