Githens MS Depth and Complexity
The overarching goal of Depth and Complexity is to move students towards expert knowledge of content. In their research Bette Gould and Sandra Kaplan looked to understand how an expert understands their field differently from a layperson. They identified eleven of these traits and assigned a name and a symbol to each. The idea is that students can move closer to an expert’s level of understanding by thinking through these same lenses. A CEU link for 1.5 hours of Professional Learning will be shared upon completion.
