RESULTS
_______________________
STUDENT SUCCESSES:
FINDINGS THAT SET BLENDED LEARNING APART FROM
TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM TEACHING:
• STUDENTS ARE SAYING THEY LIKE THE FLEXIBILITY &
INDEPENDENCE
• EARLY COMPLETION OF COURSEWORK FOR MANY
STUDENTS
• EARLY EXAM COMPLETION FOR SIGNIFICANT NUMBER
OF OUR STUDENTS
• SOME STUDENTS WERE ABLE TO PUT OFF THE EXAM
UNTIL THEY WERE READY
• ABILITY TO RETAKE ALL TESTS AND EXAMS
12. PERFORMANCE
________________________
PACE
• BLENDED LEARNING ENABLES MASTERY TO
BECOME THE DRIVER
• TIME HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN THE DRIVER
• TECHNOLOGY ENABLES US TO IDENTIFY
WHERE STUDENTS ARE EARLIER:
• WE’RE MORE INFORMED
• SO ARE STUDENTS AND PARENTS
• CAN MORE READILY SEE WHEN STUDENT
NOT PERFORMING AT A LEVEL THEY ARE
CAPABLE AND MORE QUICKLY INTERCEDE
13. BUILDING FOR THE
FUTURE
_________________________
CHANGES FOR THIS YEAR & NEXT
• LOOKING AT STRATEGIES FOR STRENGTHENING
PROGRAM BOTH IN THE IMMEDIATE AND FOR
NEXT YEAR:
• TEACHER FACE TIME: BALANCING STUDENT
INDEPENDENCE WITH INSTRUCTION
• REQUIRED ATTENDANCE FOR A MINIMUM # OF
WORKSHOPS
• SETTING MORE DEFINED DEADLINES
• SITTING DOWN WITH EACH STUDENT TO
DEVELOP A STRATEGY FOR STUDENTS WHO
ARE SIGNIFICANTLY BEHIND TO SET UP GOALS
FOR GETTING THEM WHERE THEY NEED TO BE
