Blended learning. Page Content Blended Learning in Academy District 20 What is Blended Learning? "Blended learning is any time a student learns at least in part at a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home and at least in part through online delivery with some element of student control over time, place, path and/or pace. " - Heather Staker (2011), The rise of K-12 Blended Learning: Profiles of Emerging Models What does Blended Learning look like in Academy District 20? Using an online content management tool, such as ALEC (see Online Learning section) or Desire2Learn (AOHS), many teachers in Academy District 20 provide resources, discussion boards, quizzes, and content delivery as an integrated component to their classroom instruction.

-Model Developed by Rick Tanski, Principal, Academy Online High School. Blended Learning Toolkit | Kohlberg's Moral Stages. W.C. Crain. (1985). Theories of Development. Prentice-Hall. pp. 118-136. An outstanding example of research in the Piagetian tradition is the work of Lawrence Kohlberg. Kohlberg has focused on moral development and has proposed a stage theory of moral thinking which goes well beyond Piaget's initial formulations.

Kohlberg, who was born in 1927, grew up in Bronxville, New York, and attended the Andover Academy in Massachusetts, a private high school for bright and usually wealthy students. Kohlberg is an informal, unassuming man who also is a true scholar; he has thought long and deeply about a wide range of issues in both psychology and philosophy and has done much to help others appreciate the wisdom of many of the "old psychologists," such as Rousseau, John Dewey, and James Mark Baldwin.

Piaget studied many aspects of moral judgment, but most of his findings fit into a two-stage theory. At approximately the same time--10 or 11 years--children's moral thinking undergoes other shifts.
