What is Blended Learning?
“A formal education program in which a student learns: at least in part through online learning, with some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace; at least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home; and the modalities along each student’s learning path within a course or subject are connected to provide an integrated learning experience.”

Teachers use data to design learning stations based on student needs. Learners rotate, on a fixed schedule or at the teacher’s discretion, between different learning modalities including online learning, small-group instruction, collaborative activities, individual tutoring, and pencil-and-paper assignments.
Flipped Learning is a pedagogical approach in which direct instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual learning space, and the resulting group space is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment where the educator guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter.
A hybrid blended model in which each student has a personalized playlist based on learning needs and goals. This model provides time for the teacher to work more closely with students, and allows for more student agency than other models.
