Blended Learning For The 2021-2022 School Year

Schools have been lecturing students with similar processes for hundreds of years. District wide, the schools will be offering blended learning for many math and science classes, as a new way of teaching. The class may meet at certain times of the week, but it’s more about an independent study.

“If students are in a blended learning classroom, it means that they could do some things synchronously and some things asynchronously,” Assistant Principal, Chris Birch said.

Tim Besse is an Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 teacher, who also is going to teach Pre-Calculus as a blended learning class next year. He believes that similar ways of teaching is better for students’ learning.

“The education system is very stuck in our own ways. We keep teaching the same way even though the world has changed,” Besse said.” It depends on what class you’re teaching, but as long as the kids can do things outside of class on their own, I think it’s perfect.”
