J Taylor Education Center for Depth and Complexity

The Depth and Complexity Framework was originally developed in the mid 1990’s by Dr. Sandra Kaplan, Bette Gould, and Sheila Madsen. The creators sought to answer the question: How can educators prompt students to go beyond a basic understanding of content and elicit critical thinking at an expert level, regardless of topic/content?
J Taylor Education was founded in 2006 and rebranded as The Center for Depth and Complexity in 2017. J Taylor Education is the official Depth and Complexity resource and professional development company, with its leadership team having worked with the Framework since its inception in the mid 1990s. J Taylor provides educators with classroom-tested resources and effective training that help them differentiate for all levels of learners. All of our trainers and authors are Depth and Complexity practitioners – they use the Framework with students.
