For generations, schools have aimed to introduce students to a broad range of topics through curriculum that ensure that they will at least have some acquaintance with most areas of human knowledge by the time they graduate. Yet such broad knowledge cant help but be somewhat superficialand, as Kieran Egan argues, it omits a crucial aspect of true education: deep knowledge.Real education, Egan explains, consists of both general knowledge and detailed understanding, and in Learning in Depth he outlines an ambitious yet practical plan to incorporate deep knowledge into basic education. Under Egans program, students will follow the usual curriculum, but with one crucial addition: beginning with their first days of school and continuing until graduation, they will eachalso study one topicsuch as apples, birds, sacred buildings, mollusks,circuses, or starsin depth. Over the years, with the help and guidance of their supervising teacher, students will expand their understanding of their one topic and build portfolios of knowledge that grow and change along with them. By the time they graduate each student will know as much about his or her topic as almost anyone on earthand in the process will have learned important, even lifechanging lessons about the meaning of expertise, the value of dedication, and the delight of knowing something in depth.Though Egans program may be radical in its effects, it is strikingly simple to implementas a number of schools have already discoveredand with Learning in Depth as a blueprint, parents, educators, and administrators can instantly begin taking the first steps toward transforming our schools and fundamentally deepening their students minds.
