Blended Learning Site Visit at Lighthouse Public Schools Day 3: Bluebonnet Learning in Action! In Shannon Dugan’s fourth-grade RLA classroom, CourseMojo supported students with differentiated assistance and AI feedback during Tier 1 instruction. #BlendedLearning #CourseMojo
Shannon shines in our courses - she learns from us, and we learn from her! She embraces the "job-embedded" pieces in the coursework, building blended lessons for implementation in her own classroom as parts of her assignments.

Students were doing the reading with various accommodations in Course Mojo and answering questions using text evidence. The sidebar is where they type in their answers or use voice-to-text if Shannon encourages that option, and they receive immediate feedback that allows them to move forward or gives them help redirecting them back to the text.

A look inside Ms. Alexis Ruiz’s classroom, joined by her Associate Teacher, Ms. Toni Harris! UTeach PD loved seeing small-group instruction and purposeful and personalized practice during Lighthouse Public Schools’ Blended Learning Grant site visit. #BlendedLearning #UTeachPD
Ms. Ruiz and Ms. Harris are working together to leverage blended learning time after their Tier One Bluebonnet instruction is complete. They have both completed our Foundations of Blended Learning course as part of learning how to make the most of this time and their resources, including iReady and released Bluebonnet materials.

This was a planned small group lesson - made possible by blended learning rotations and an awesome associate teacher in the room. All 3rd graders were working with intention on data-driven work during the time they were not in the teacher rotation. We saw iReady practice, online and offline, and students working on released Bluebonnet practice.

Student data tracking - start small with simple trackers like this one (for iReady), work hard to establish a norm that supports this as part of a daily schedule, and then expand from there.
