On Our Minds
This past month has been all about collaboration. We’ve been busy working with great partners, and amazing clients to share the challenges and rewards of creating cultures of innovation in schools across the nation.
The Ultimate Guide to Better Communications
Effective communications is the cornerstone of successful innovation in education, and we’ve partnered with The Learning Accelerator to publish a free personalized learning Communications Guide. Throughout the guide we have included short profiles of districts that have partnered with us and are in various stages of this work. These districts have led the way in communicating their transition to blended and personalized learning.
The Story of New York State
Since 2013, Education Elements has worked in New York to design, implement, and support personalized learning across 16 districts and two BOCES - changing the educational experience for nearly 45,000 students. This month we published profiles of five of those districts that have embraced personalized learning. Great things are happening in New York, and who better to spread the word than the dedicated and courageous district and school leaders who are at the forefront of this movement.
Opportunity to Share Your Thoughts
We invite teachers to participate in a survey of blended-learning teachers being conducted by The Foundation for Blended and Online Learning and Evergreen Education Group. Results, including school and teacher profiles, will be published in a report available in fall 2017 that will be used with policymakers, education advocates, and practitioners.
The survey contains 17 questions that ask about teachers' experiences and opinions, and is designed to be answered in 10 minutes. It can be taken anonymously, although teachers may provide contact information if they are willing to be contacted for any follow-up questions. The survey can be accessed at http://svy.mk/2nPW8VS.
