Johnson’s article was entitled “Deeper Learning: Why Cross-Curricular Teaching is Essential”. If you have been following my blogs you know that my first reaction was to the word “teaching”. I find it to be a huge leap to go from cross-curricular teaching to deeper learning given the challenge of even a simple teaching=learning equation. Silly me, right?
