Blended Learning Rubric: Design Principles
Core Principles of Effective Blended
Classrooms
Adopt instructional delivery models that maximize small group
or one-on-one time with students to deliver more •personalized
interaction.
Incorporate differentiation into all facets of instructional
practice to create a more student-centered learning
experience. (e.g. management, planning, assessment,
instruction).
Leverage digital content and assessments to help measure
students' true level of academic proficiency.
Support students' ability to learn, grow, and function
independently from the teacher to achieve their personal
academic goals.

Connections to Instruction and Learning ( RtI)
What is RtI? The Definition, according to the NC DPI Website,:
“…Responsiveness to Instruction (NCRtI) is a multi-tiered
framework which promotes school improvement through engaging,
high quality instruction. NCRtI employs a team approach to guide
educational practices, using a problem-solving model based on data,
to address student needs and maximize growth for all.”

The Educational “Journey”
1 – Plan where you are going and
2 - the route you will use.
3 – Ask, “How you know you got there?”
4 – What do you do if you took a wrong turn and you are
not at your destination?
5 – What do you do with the students who have already
been to that location?
