Blended Learning Model: Personalizing Education

 

• Blended Learning personalizes education, shifts the classroom paradigm and gives students the power to learn in the way they prefer (path), at their own pace and academic level (place).

• Teacher-led instruction dynamics will provide teachers more 1:1 time to support students individual needs.
• Small group instruction and collaborative practice empower students to develop critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Differentiated instruction through adaptive and assignable software generates immediate student-learning data to maximize student growth and success.
