Blended learning in an extended mathematics instructional block Pilot Blended learning in an extended mathematics instructional block What we have learned: Students need choice and options for digital content. Teachers need streamlined data protocol. Next steps: Continue to collect data from students and other non-piloting teachers to determine the next steps for blended learning in our school. Briefly describe your pilot What are the ley lessons you’ve learned through the pilot process? How has the pilot informed your overall plan?
