Each participant chooses two of the three available modules. In each module, they create, capture, share, and reflect upon the blended learning strategies applicable to that topic.
Each module contains three lessons. Checklists for each lesson help participants navigate their assignments. There are multiple opportunities for collaboration as well as mastery checks to assess learning.
Module 1 — Integrating HQIM and Adaptive Learning Software (Playlist Model, 10 hours)
Research and define high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) and adaptive learning and identify which of these are currently being used in your school or district.
Through the use of a playlist, practice integrating HQIM and/or adaptive software programs into a blended learning model.
Capture video evidence of HQIM and adaptive software programs embedded in blended learning models and share with online peers for feedback.
Module 2 — Using Assessment, Data, and Feedback in Blended Learning Classrooms (Choice Board Model, 10 hours)
Create a systematic approach to assessment and data-informed teaching to design and deliver instruction based on students’ specific learning needs, monitor student learning, and provide feedback to students.
Interact with a choice board that includes Must Do, Should Do, and Aspire to Do learning activities to support using assessment, data, and feedback in blended learning classrooms.
Capture video evidence of the use of assessment, data, and feedback embedded in blended learning classrooms and share with online peers for feedback.
Module 3 — Self-Paced Learning in Blended Classrooms (Personalized Learning Pathway Model, 10 hours)
Develop a plan to support self-paced learning in a blended environment where students are offered a variety of learning opportunities to master standards according to differentiated learning objectives dependent on students’ level of mastery and frequently receive individual feedback about their progress.
Interact with a sequence of learning activities embedded in a personalized learning pathway that guides educators in creating their own example of a personalized learning pathway
