Blended Learning Lesson Plan

You will take an hour and write a lesson plan for a blended learning lesson which will include digital content and small group instruction. Please look at your content for the rest of this school year to see where you will implement this lesson. Add the date when you will implement your blended learning lesson to the google document so that a member of the leadership team can plan to drop by your classroom at the appropriate time.
While planning your blended learning lesson remember that you have classroom assistance available to you. Kelly Coban or Cinday Farmer can assist with  classroom activities or lead a station. Paula Doe, our digital lab monitor, can provide assistance with monitoring students while they work at the digital content station.

Things to Remember About Blended Learning

Essential Elements of a Blended Learning Classroom
  • Small Group Instruction:  Increases effective instructional time by providing opportunities to teach to smaller groups of students
  • Integrated Digital Content: Engages students for individualized learning
  • Differentiation: Enables differentiated instruction for greater impact
  • Data Driven Decisions: Provides frequent, high-fidelity data to inform instructional decisions
Mount Mourne Blended Learning Instructional Model

Remember to refer to our instructional model to determine which phase of the model will best suit the needs of your students and the needs of your content.
Blended Learning Examples
  • Blended Learning at an Elementary School
  • Blended Learning at Mission Dolores Academy - Start at 2:30
  • Blended Learning in OUSD - Start at 1:58

Digital Content

Digital content provides adaptable and/or assignable content, activities and data to the teacher and student. Some examples of digital content include News ELA, Moby Max, Castle Learning and Conjuguemos.

A blended learning classroom should incorporate digital content; while the IMPACT grant has not yet purchased digital content there is still digital content available for use in the classroom. If you are already using digital content in your classes then plan to use that program in your blended learning lesson.

If you do not currently use digital content in your class:
  1. Consider this an opportunity to try one of the digital content providers currently available to you
  2. Utilize a digital tool or application, while the use of digital content is preferred due to our current circumstances a digital tool could suffice
