Innovation Proposal Plan

The growth of technology in the field of education continues to impact the way students learn and acquire new tools for learning. The Blended Learning Model facilitates a student’s ability to attain more information while at the same time motivating them to increase their academic performance. The role of an educator is an important one. It requires us to carry many responsibilities on our shoulders. For instance, if we look at what has happened in the last two years in a post-pandemic world, teachers were constantly under pressure to get better results from their students regardless of their background or grade level. Therefore, teachers now need to adapt quickly and incorporate new technologies into their classroom to achieve the required results. Blended Learning is one successful model that can be applied

My proposal has been to continue using the softwares that we have at school called MyOn, Renaissance, Nearpod, Epic, and other digital resources that can differentiate reading levels and show areas where students need to improve. However, in many schools including mine, teachers are not implementing the blended learning models in an appropriate way due that there is not enough instructional time for it to be fully implemented during the school hours. Blended learning includes models as station rotation, it is a course or subject in which students experience the rotation model within a contained classroom or group of classrooms. Also I will implement the individualized rotation that I will be using to support my students in class. Using this strategy, students will rotate on an individually customized schedule among learning modalities. This modality sets a daily schedule according to a playlist customized to their specific educational needs (Horn & Staker, 2015, p.45).
