Why Blended Learning? Individualize by adjusting the pace Individualize by adjusting the learning approach Leverage student interests & experiences with selection of the right programs EQUITY “I am not really good at times (multiplications) so JiJi is helping me with my times tables. He tells me when I don’t get it right.” -Josue 3 rd Grade
Vision The power of blended learning comes from a teacher being able to focus on a smaller group while other students are receiving personalized, adaptive content that the teacher doesn’t have to create and that provides useful data about each student. The teacher as the facilitator of blended learning helps students make connections between what is happening in the blended learning block and their core instruction.
