Blended Learning Grant Program 

BLGP Strategic Design Action Plan

The Design Team will develop a blended learning strategic design action plan based on a set of shared community beliefs about learning from the community engagement input. While the Design Team is at work, they will review all data collected from the community engagement process, as well as additional district data to analyze current systems and achievements allowing for comprehensive goals. 

Learning Innovation Framework (LIF) 

In order to achieve a local vision for blended learning, a roadmap of behaviors is required. The framework will include components that ensure learners will have the classroom experience to thrive in today’s context, helping districts create a framework for blended learning.

Professional Development Plan for Blended Learning

The PD Plan for Blended Learning service includes two programs: Blended Learning Trainer-of-Trainer (ToT) Academy and Blended Learning Leadership Academy.

Blended Learning ToT Academy

Throughout the ToT, e2L will facilitate a team of leaders to design teacher training to support the implementation of the blended learning initiative. The design of the training will include using the district’s newly designed Blended Learning Innovation Framework© and aligned e2L 12 Life Ready Best Practices© to create a training environment that is collaborative, authentic, challenging, autonomous, truly differentiated, and leads to measurable growth of the identified outcomes.

Blended Learning Leadership Academy

During a 2-day Leadership Academy, we provide leaders with the tools to facilitate the cultural shift necessary for growth. During the academy, e2L facilitators focus on the five ways leaders influence culture in a blended learning environment.

Almost 50 educators, including principals from other Spring ISD campuses and representatives from two other school districts, got to see first-hand what the Spring ISD’s Empowered Learning Model looks like in first and third-grade math classes at Beneke, Ponderosa and Reynolds elementary schools and in grades six through eight at Roberson Middle School.
