Work at your own pace as we explore Catlin R. Tucker's "Balance with Blended Learning". The author provides practical examples, templates and resources to help you "rethink the roles, responsibilities and workflow in your blended learning classroom to enjoy balance in your life." Short video links, tasks or reflections at the end of each chapter will help you incorporate practical blended learning strategies into your classroom NOW, no matter which instructional delivery model you're in (full return, blended/hybrid, or remote learning). Learn to tame the overwhelming workload by redefining who does the work within your class. Beginning January 4, you will be invited to join a SeeSaw class to access the chapter tasks and additional resources. At the end of this study, you will have:
- practical strategies to develop a blended learning classroom
- routines and protocols to introduce blended learning to students this fall
- templates and resources to help students track, monitor and reflect on their progress
- video and text vignettes from experienced blended learning teachers across disciplines
- ideas to redesign how to grade for mastery, not completion
- an understanding of one motivational theory to increase student engagement
Blended Learning lends itself well to addressing both social-emotional and academic needs of gifted students by creating meaningful partnerships through feedback. Students are trained and trusted to assist in developing meaningful, relevant learning and personal goals. Blended Learning strategies can create personalized learning opportunities at a pace the gifted student - or any student - can control.
