When I facilitate blended learning workshops, I ask participants to think about these three roles and identify the role they spend the most time and energy in. Blended learning can help! So how do we leverage blended learning to be more strategic about the form instruction takes in classrooms?

I like to compare the teacher’s work designing learning experiences to the work of an architect. In my new book with Dr. Katie Novak, UDL and Blended Learning , I share a story about working with an architect to design a new home after my family lost our house in the Tubbs Fire in 2017.

I remember facilitating workshops on blended learning models and universally designed learning to provide students with flexible pathways. One of the biggest hurdles I encountered working with teachers using the whole group, teacher-led, teacher-paced model was their lack of time to design.

APRIL 15, 2024

This twist on the station rotation model combines the strategic collection and use of data with student agency to create a more personalized and student-centered approach to this blended learning model. In a traditional station rotation, all students rotate through the same sequence of learning activities or stations.

MARCH 5, 2021

Evidence of the need for these 4 C’s is embedded in Universal Design for Learning (UDL). To create truly student centered, personalized learning opportunities, teachers must design lessons with intention. I did not assign BookaKucha thinking this would be an outcome. I was happily surprised at this unintended outcome!
