Deeper Knowledge... **

These are part of the **“ WHAT ”** in learning.

Deeper knowledge is all the underlying important knowledge and skills that we need to be develop through learning. As a school we have identified some key deeper knowledge that is important across all learning and for all children to develop, these do not need to be specifically allocated in the planning process but should naturally occur through planning for a variety of deeper understandings, learning dispositions and contexts. Most deeper knowledge is determined through the focus of the deeper understanding, the learning disposition and specific to the context for learning.

One example of a key deeper knowledge is problem-solving. This is important in all learning and in developing competent and successful children.

An example of deeper knowledge that is specific to a context is the use of algorithms in mathematics. Another is the understanding of primary and secondary colours and how they mix to make different tones in visual art. These are both examples of important deeper knowledge, however, they are very specific to the context for learning.
