Personal Author EPSB

John. Spencer
Summary
:
Teachers are facing unprecedented challenges. Student attention is declining. Burnout is on the rise. Compliance-driven learning is leaving everyone frustrated. But deeper learning offers a hopeful alternative. In a world of instant answers, fast clicks, and constant noise, The Depth Advantage offers a different path rooted in deeper learning. Our students don’t just need more information at a faster speed. They need depth to thrive in a rapidly changing world shaped by AI and automation. Through research-driven insights and practical strategies, The Depth Advantage explores how we can create classrooms where curiosity is cultivated, resilience is strengthened, and mastery is pursued at a slower, more deliberate pace. Using personal stories and creative sketches, Dr. Spencer lays out the foundations of deeper learning by identifying eight core competencies that meet today’s challenges head-on: Focus, Mastery, Problem-Solving, Curiosity, Self-Direction, Resilience, Collaboration, and Communication. Each of these pillars provides a way to help students grow not just academically but as human beings who are ready to thrive in a complex world.
