Deeper Learning Dos and Don'ts - The Role of the Teacher in a Blended Learning Classroom by Edgenuity
Deeper Learning Dos
Deeper Learning Don’ts
- Do establish a routine. Students, especially those who gravitate toward alternative learning programs, need to understand the expectations placed on them. A daily routine (when both on and off campus) set by the teacher goes a long way toward reaching those expectations.
- Do empower students to advocate for themselves. If they believe their understanding of a topic or skill set isn’t reflected in the data, they should feel comfortable saying so. The teacher’s job is to facilitate learning, and sometimes in the argument for mastery, everything clicks.
Deeper Learning Don’ts
- Don’t let students believe the work is too hard. You start losing kids when they think they can’t do it or that they won’t understand. Make sure they see their progress. Find little places to make them active owners of even the smallest amounts of learning.
- Don’t believe all teachers can do this without training. Blended learning takes a special kind of teacher. Lecturers and assigners are not enough. This work takes highly qualified subject area teachers who can facilitate and mentor to get at learning in a different way and ensure it’s really happening, no matter where the student is.Dos
