Linda Holmes, a teacher in Langley, B.C. and a graduate of the IERG M.Ed. program, has been implementing the LiD program in her classroom. The experiment was the subject of a report on the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. National News on Friday11th. Sept. 2009.

The brief news report runs for only about 4 minutes. It includes an interview with a parent and a student, and discusses how Linda Holmes came to appreciate what initially seemed a slight crazy idea. Kieran Egan also appears in the interview, discussing one or two features of the idea very briefly.

We are finding that many schools—in Canada, the US, Australia, Japan, and England, so far––are interested in exploring and implementing LiD. To the left is a moment from a workshop where we introduced the principles of LiD and recommended procedures for putting it into action. We will be involved with a number of schools during the 2009/10 academic year planning for implementations in Sept. 2010, as described in the Learning in Depth Resource materials news item on our Home page.
