Guidelines for
Learning: Below are a dozen guidelines to deep learning environments.
These guidelines were derived from observing the kinds of learning
environments created by highly successful teachers. We believe they are
also well supported by the research and theoretical literature on human
learning. Our collective task this year will be to verify, clarify,
amplify, and, if necessary, modify this list, to test it against our
own reading of the literature, and to annotate it with references to
the literature and with specific specific practices to implement these
ideas.

People learn most
deeply, in ways that have a sustained and substantial influence on the
way they subsequently think, act, or feel, when:
1. They are trying to answer questions or solve problems they find
interesting, intriguing, important, or beautiful;
2. They can try, fail, receive feedback, and try again before anyone
makes a judgement of their work;
3. They can work collaboratively with other learners struggling with
the same problems;
4. They face repeated challenges to their existing fundamental
paradigms;
5. They care that their existing paradigms do not work;

6. They can get
support (emotional, physical, and intellectual) when
they need it;
7. They feel in
control of their own learning, not manipulated;
8. They believe that their work will be considered fairly and honestly;
9. They believe that their work will matter;
10. They believe that intelligence and abilities are expandable, that
if they work hard, they will get better at it;
11. They believe other people have faith in their ability to learn;
12. They believe that they can learn.
