3. 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?
How are other stakeholders (especially teachers) learning about your pilot work?

Vision
Articulate the vision specifically in terms of how you will personalize learning for students.
Articulate your new school vision:
- what will the core focus of your school be? (should be one of the core design tenets - PBL, Competency-Based, Flexible Environments)
e.g. We aspire to provide a comprehensive project-based learning experience that prepares student for life-long learning and careers of the future.
- how will this approach personalize learning and prepare students for college and career?
e.g. We will deliver a differentiated, project-based curriculum that is aligned with each student's chosen career pathway. Through our program, students will develop the higher order thinking skills they need to succeed in college while actively working towards their future career.
Why are you making these changes in your school?
