Blended Learning Rubric
BMS Faculty Meeting – September 10
Agenda
Learning Target
I can use the Blended Learning Rubric to identify my skill sets and
opportunities for growth in terms of implementation of blended learning
instruction.
Purpose:
Blended Learning Rubric is designed to help teachers :
Set goals in individual classrooms and across the school
To identify areas of strength and for development in BL classrooms
To measure progress in implementing BL, semester by semester and year by year
Assumptions:
The BL Rubric is a supplement, not a replacement, to your existing teacher rubric
Language is intentionally broad to provide room for interpretation and innovation.
NOT Evaluative, but reflective. Helps support/supplement your NC Teacher Evaluation

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.
