Michigan Virtual‘s PD course — Understanding Blended Learning for School Leaders — brings together a cohort of school leaders to engage in approximately 25 hours of studying and sharing over five weeks.
The course combines synchronous and asynchronous online learning, with an expectation of consistent weekly engagement by all participants. While there are no onsite sessions in the course, participants will engage in at least one live web conference meeting during the course.
The majority of time will be spent learning and interacting with other school leaders asynchronously through a learning management system, allowing participants time to share ideas and plan together to lead the shift to personalized blended learning in their school.
