HyFlex Planning for the Fall?

7/27/2020

As we journey into 2020, I am reflecting on the HyFlex teaching model.  In higher ed, this concept is presented as a choice to a student.  In our school district and many in our region, parents and students are choosing face to face or online instruction.  With that in mind, here are some advantages of the HyFlex model. 
  1. Each student chooses to learn in their preferred learning style – whether online or face-to-face.
  2. Students entering the class with a stronger background in the course material may choose to do more online sessions rather than coming to class. This is am important note, it requires more academic skills or supports to learn online in the K-12 environment. 
  3. Students have the option to attend both online and face-to-face versions of the class, if they find the material difficult, and would benefit from a face-to-face review.
  4. Classes can continue to take place online, even when there are pandemic or weather-related circumstances .
The ultimate task for educators is how do we plan and work successfully with students under these circumstances.  In the next series of posts, I would like to explore how to streamline workflow in content development and face to face teaching so we're not doing everything twice.
