At the start of the 2015-16 school year, a multi-phase plan furthered digital learning initiatives in the primary and intermediate grade levels. The objective of the plan was to incorporate blended learning in a three station rotation model e.g. small group instruction. IWBs allow teachers to create interactive digital lessons that studies have found increase student academic performance (Marzano & Haystead, 2009).
