This session provides an overview of two approaches to teaching and learning that are making headlines for innovative practices and how they are built on a foundation of blended learning. These approaches place the student at the center of teaching and learning. Arkansas' Own Team Digital will facilitate the opportunity for participants to learn common vocabulary and understanding to apply in their classroom, building, or district. Participants will be able to:
- Define and differentiate between personalized learning, competency-based education and blended learning
- Describe what each approach may look like in the classroom and at school levels
- Reflect on how a shift towards each approach could impact a child's education AND your professional role
