Deep Learning

What is Deep Learning?

At M.F. McHugh, one of our main focuses is on Deep Learning. In order to ensure deep learning by our students, we must ensure that we are helping them to surpass the mastery of existing knowledge and encouraging them to ask questions that are going to help them create new knowledge. This methodology is intended to help our students to be more connected to the real-world, to express more creativity, and to be life long problem solvers. Our intention is to guide them to be contributing, and holistic young people in the future.

The Elements of Deep Learning:

Leveraging Digital
Learning Partnerships
Learning Environments
Pedagogical Practices
