This course helps elementary educators balance High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) fidelity with flexible blended learning strategies. Designed to align with grant guidelines, this course protects the core Tier 1 Bluebonnet instructional block while utilizing a dedicated "Blended Block" for targeted support. Participants learn how to streamline teacher planning to leverage Bluebonnet materials, deploy student-centered frameworks, and seamlessly integrate adaptive software.
*Course fees qualify for reimbursement by the Texas Education Agency upon completion.
Participants will:
- Explore foundational blended learning frameworks (Station Rotation, Choice Boards, Playlists) and review video examples of blended learning in action.
- Learn how to maximize a Blended Block to support students without compromising the required fidelity of core Bluebonnet instruction.
- Streamline planning by leveraging Bluebonnet materials, adaptive online programs, and digital supplements directly within student-facing blended learning frameworks.
- Leverage AI to sort curriculum resources, generate student direction cards, map out choice boards and playlists, create formative assessments, and automate station logistics.
- Plan for potential future flexible options for a more deeply integrated Tier 1 blended learning model once core implementation routines are established, provided there is alignment with campus and district guidelines.
- Gain access to a collaborative library of Bluebonnet-based materials developed by in-service Texas educators specifically for course participants.
