About This Lesson
Although distance learning has been the primary instructional model for many LEAs during these past eight months, hybrid learning has always been the next step along the pathway to offering in-person instruction. To maximize students’ learning experiences in this new era of online and blended learning, educators continue to reimagine teaching and learning through an equity lens.
Dr. Catlin Tucker, a bestselling author, international trainer, keynote speaker, course creator, and blended learning expert, defines blended learning as “the combination of active engaged learning online and active engaged learning offline” (Tucker, 2019). Dr. Tucker joined Executive Director Tom Armelino and Dr. Michelle Magyar, Assistant Director of Business, Operations, and Strategic Engagement, in a conversation on supporting educators with hybrid learning. The trio discuss how various blended learning models can be effectively integrated in a hybrid schedule to enhance student engagement and create genuine moments of connection, while also maintaining instructional momentum.
The discussion is summarized in a three-part series, with each part providing the Q&A text, video/audio clips, and resources.
