ABSTRACT: Learning in depth is a visionary curricular program in which schools would randomly assign 1st graders one topic to study through grade 12, along with the regular curriculum. Students would meet regularly with their teachers, who would guide them as they build personal portfolios about their topics. All students, by the end of their schooling, would be experts in their topics. Learning in depth would transform students' understanding of the nature of knowledge, teach them the difference between opinion and fact, transfer to students' learning in other areas of the curriculum, encourage learning for its own sake, and stimulate the imagination.
