Blended Learning

Action research took place with a "train the trainer model" approach.
With Action Research the goal was to best stimulate a 1:1 classroom environment and learn as much as we can.

Action Research can be used to support our professional learning community work and:

• Build the reflective practitioner
• Make progress on school wide priorities
• Build professional culutres
• Learn together

Members of the team: 6-12 teachers from every team, grade level or department, given a cart of Chromebooks and committed to learning together. Our K-2 tablet study team used the same model. Students were also included as part of the action research team.
