Course Objectives
In this course we will explore different models of blended learning and dive into key issues that impact students, teachers, and schools. Specifically, we will look at these issues through the lens of three high-performing schools that each use a different type of blended learning. We will live by the attributes of blended learning in this course, encouraging students to take quizzes at the beginning of the week to assess their understanding and skip material they already know. By the end, our goal is for all participants to feel prepared to prototype their own blended learning model given what they have learned throughout the course.
Overall Goals:
- Introduce individuals to examples of blended learning
- Accelerate the learning for individuals interested in implementing blended learning
- Provide a structure for educators to pilot aspects of blended learning in a whole school or classroom setting and gain feedback from peers
Enduring Understandings:
- As with any reform, blended learning can be done well or it can be done poorly
- When done well, blended learning is driven through the lenses of mastery, student agency, personalization, and improved relationships
- Blended learning is a design element, not just an infusion of technology
- We don’t know what blended learning will look like in the future, but know it will evolve significantly
- The implementation of a blended learning program should be guided by strong design principles and an iterative process.
Essential Questions:
- How would the role of the adults in the school change?
- How would the role of students in the classroom change?
- How could systems, structures, and staffing in schools need to change in a blended environment?
- Which of our assumptions about schools do we need to most challenge through blended learning?
