Meeting the needs of today’s learners in yesterday’s classroom is like trying to mix oil and water. You know it (or maybe you’re still skeptical). You want to respond but there’s no time to consider the shifts that are happening before our eyes.

Distracted, confident, entitled, demanding, short attention span, used to instant gratification are just a few of the words and phrases used to describe today’s generation of learners. So how do you respond? What can stay the same about your practice? What needs to change? In this course:

• Understand the real why behind the need for change

• Explore ideas and strategies to meet the needs of today’s learners

• Practice strategies and ideas

• Share and collaborate with a group of others in a digital and face-to-face environment

Session 2: Creating a Classroom Culture to Support Blended/Personalized Learning

Session 3: Teaching & learning Tools & Strategies That Support Blended /Personalized Learning
