Students Email Their Parents About Missing Work. In my last blog post titled, “Stop Taking Grading Home,” I explained how I use the Station Rotation Model to provide students with real-time feedback as they work instead of taking grading home. I had one teacher ask me what I do when a student arrives at my teacher-led station and has not done the work required. That’s a great question, so I wanted to share my very simple strategy with my readers. If students have fallen behind on a formal essay, large scale assignment, or project, I require that they begin their session with me at the teacher-led real-time feedback station by writing their parents an email to explain why they have not completed the work they were assigned.
They must CC me on the email, use the formal business letter format, and propose a specific action plan to catch up on their work. This strategy is so simple but so effective! The most rewarding part of this strategy are the conversations that take place between parents and their children. Be The Change You Want to See By Shifting Traditional High School. My new classroom! Let the movement, exploration, collaboration & creation begin! #BackToSchool pic.twitter.com/XWhqzLM1X3— Catlin Tucker (@Catlin_Tucker) August 18, 2016 “I sat there and he just spoke to me, to everything that concerns me about education, and the way we're shuttling kids through classes and losing so many of them, and how we have to reimagine learning for kids of this generation.” Tucker said. Windsor works on a “core” model where one group of students share the same English, science and history teacher as a way to create smaller communities within the big comprehensive high school.
The two teachers share a mix of 60 freshmen and sophomores, teaching them English, science and a technology elective in an interdisciplinary way. Each student psychoanalyzed a character, using research to back up claims about how the character’s actions and words indicate they may have had a specific mental disorder. That attitude has allowed her to pursue some impressive projects. Paula Barr showcases blended learning best practices as iNACOL award recipient. My Journey with Blended - Home.

Beyond Technology: Blended Learning Conference Debates Equity, Cultural Inclusion. For a conference named after “blended learning,” many attendees were surprised to learn that they did not agree on what the term meant.
Dr. Dallas Dance, Superintendent of Baltimore County Public Schools, was among the first to raise this during a session at the 6th Annual Blended Learning Conference, held last weekend in Rhode Island. “I was talking to a colleague who was using blended and personalized learning the same way,” says Dance. Michele Williams-George, an education consultant and researcher, claimed there were 25 words people inaccurately used interchangeably with the term, such as differentiated instruction and flipped classroom.
What “blended learning” means has certainly evolved since the Innosight Institute (now called the Clayton Christensen Institute) introduced its definition in 2012, as “formal education program in which a student learns: at least in part through online learning, with some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace.” BL-101: Beginning to Blend.
