Weber Elementary Hosts Blended Learning Showcase

Dozens of educators from area school districts and
CCISD campuses gathered for a stimulating day of
learning during Weber Elementary’s Blended
Learning Showcase. The learning session included
an overview of the Blended Learning program,
interactive classroom visits and a teacher panel
discussion. As one of CCISD’s six Blended Learning
pilot schools, the showcase gave Weber staff an
opportunity to share instructional strategies and
lessons learned when implementing and sustaining
the program on their campus.

An initiative through Raise Your Hand Texas,
Raising Blended Learners (RBL) encourages
students to drive their own learning by combining in-
person instruction and online technology to deliver a
robust personalized learning experience. Since
being selected as one of 20 school districts to
participate in the RBL network, CCISD has
implemented a comprehensive Blended Learning
pilot program on six of its campuses and is working
to expand to more.

Weber Elementary is currently in the second year of
the program's four-year demonstration initiative.
Some of Blended Learning's key pillar strategies
include data driven instruction, flexible instructional
groupings, student agency, competency-based
progression and creating an individualized learning
experience for students.
