Blended Learn - Today and Tomorrow - Disruptive
This document discusses how blended learning models can help address problems in education by combining online and in-person learning. It provides examples of different blended learning models used by schools and describes how Rocky Mount Preparatory implemented the station-rotation model using DreamBox Learning's online math program. Data shows DreamBox helped significantly improve student math performance and proficiency after just one semester of use. Blended learning allows for individualization, use of data to track progress, and helps improve teacher effectiveness.

Pain Points • (Needgeneral BL pain point) • Years of student math under performance • Need to transition to upcoming Common Core State Standards that would only highlight students’ background learning gaps “Just to illustrate the lack of background knowledge some of our kids have, some of our kindergarten students don’t know their colors or the alphabet.” Angela Langley, Dean of Math

- 36. Why DreamBox Learning? •Blended learning approach that would leverage both the Singapore Method and a supplemental online learning solution. • To identify those gaps, and reinforce the basics while providing the rigor required by the Common Core “We were impressed by DreamBox Learning’s excellent track record of supporting blended learning and Singapore Math and by its proven ability to identify and isolate gaps, remedy them, and enable learners to advance alongside their peers.” Angela Langley, Dean of Math

- 38. Results with DreamBoxLearning This is 3rd grade data for Fall testing. We consider mastery working above average, target as average, and frustrated as below average as defined by iSTEEP Norms for Math Computer Assessment BOY (Beginning of Year). This is 3rd grade data for Winter testing. We consider mastery working above average, target as average, and frustrated as below average as defined by iSTEEP Norms for Math Computer Assessment MOY (Middle of Year).
- 39. Results without DreamBoxLearning Again, DreamBox was only used in K-5. We did introduce DreamBox to 6th grade students after students returned from Winter Break in January 2013. Since their introduction to DreamBox we have not conducted benchmark testing. Note the increase in "Math Frustrated". 6th Grade Winter Results 6th Grade Fall Results
