Support Teacher Collaboration
to Improve Learning
Blended learning combines traditional face-to-face classroom
methods with modern technology-mediated activities that
engage students and build 21st century skills.
The flipped classroom is a type of blended learning that
allows students to study new concepts and theory outside
of class first and then use classroom time to put their newly
gained knowledge into practice.
Personalized Learning tailors the learning environment to
meet the needs and aspirations of individual learners, often
with extensive use of technology in the process.
Professional learning communities (PLCs) support ongoing
collaboration between education professionals within a
school or district who share a set of objectives to increase
student learning. PLCs within the K-12 sector make the clear
distinction that the purpose of school is not just to make sure
that all students are being taught but rather to make sure that
all students are actually learning.
