Schools around the country are starting to blend online learning into their instructional design as a means of personalizing students’ learning experiences.

In this webinar, our guests will explore the different blended-learning models that schools are using to support math instruction. They’ll discuss national trends emerging around blended-learning math programs, as well as take an up-close look at the challenges and successes one school has experienced with the blended math model.
