A Personalized Learning Choice Board for Blended Learning Teacher Preparation

Abstract

This unit allows preservice teachers at the end of a one-credit hour, K-12, online and blended teaching course to further explore blended teaching competencies that they feel are weak or are interested in. The unit is meant to be completed independently with weekly asynchronous check-ins to ensure progress. The unit includes a choice board of activities focused on the four different blended teaching competency areas covered in prior units. Students select and complete three activities from the choice board. Each activity provides an opportunity to reflect on the activity and on experiences with personalized learning.
