\u201cLearning in Depth<\/a>\u201d<\/strong> is a simple though radical innovation in curriculum and instruction designed to ensure that all students become experts about something during their school years. Each child is given a particular topic to learn about through her or his whole school career, in addition to the usual curriculum, and builds a personal portfolio on the topic. To the surprise of many, children usually take to the program with great enthusiasm, and within a few months LiD begins to transform their experience as learners. The program usually takes about an hour a week, with the students working outside school time increasingly.<\/p>\n \u201cThe hands-on LiDKit resources are designed to help implement the Learning<\/span>\u00a0in\u00a0Depth<\/span> (LiD) program.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Brain Games [ Primary and Intermediate Kits] <\/p>\n Big Thoughts for Kids, an Introduction to Philosophy [Kit] <\/p>\n LEGO Mindstorm Robotic Kit<\/strong> Box City: An Interdisciplinary Experience in Community Planning EXPERIENTIAL SOCIAL – EMOTIONAL KITS<\/strong> ( Primary and Intermediate Focus)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cLearning in Depth\u201d is a simple though radical innovation in curriculum and instruction designed to ensure that all students become experts about something during their school years.

Detailed play instructions and two “brain<\/span> breaks” booklets are available inside the kit.<\/p>\n![\"download\"](\"http:\/\/blogs.sd41.bc.ca\/advancedlearning\/files\/2014\/06\/download.jpg\")
