from the Test Kitchen:  \nBlended Learning at New Leaders  \nRebecca Sutherland & Colin Porter  \nAcknowledgments  \nThis study was a collaborative project involving program participants in five engagements from more than 10 different districts and charter schools, as well as individuals from teams across the New Leaders organization. Rebecca Sutherland led the project, with enormous and invaluable contributions from Colin Porter. Rebecca Sutherland and Colin Porter undertook data collection and analysis, with Colin Porter leading in developing the qualitative coding scheme and Rebecca Sutherland in conducting the quantitative code analyses. Rebecca Sutherland wrote the report with substantial input throughout from Colin Porter; Rebecca Sutherland and Colin Porter jointly wrote the case studies.  \nThe researchers would like to thank the New Leaders staff members who provided crucial input and guidance throughout the project—including Mark Bailey, Jennifer Baker, Janisia Bennet, Kavish Burney, Denise Corbett, Maria Esponda-Medina, Michael Falletti, Danielle Goddard-Ellis, Hannah Grantz, Jodut Hashmi, Emily Hicks-Rotella, LaWanda Hill, Felecia Irick, Hannah Irvin, Laura Kadetsky, Amy Koenigs, Carol Johnson, Krista Lewis-Johnson, Tangela Johnson, Tori McRoberts, Ceci Morales, Ed Morris, Rayanne Mroczek, Scott Neil, Brenda Neuman-Sheldon, Alexandra Pallas, Gabe Scheck, Kimberly Washington, and Margaret Young.  \nAlexandra Broin, Devon Dillon, Jean Desravines, Michael Falletti, Danielle Goddard-Ellis, Jackie Gran, LaWanda Hill, Hannah Irvin, John Jenkins, Tangela Johnson, Brenda Neuman-Sheldon, Kimberly Washington, Gabe Scheck, and Margaret Young provided helpful feedback on drafts of this report. Virginia Patterson led report design.  \nAbove all, New Leaders is deeply grateful to the educators who participated in this study, welcomed the researchers into their schools, made time during their busy days for interviews, and generously shared their experiences and insights. Their hard work and commitment to their students’ learning, and their dedication to their school communities are enduring inspirations.  \nThis report was made possible by a generous grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.  \n© 2019 New Leaders Inc.

In adopting a blended learning paradigm for professional development, New Leaders paved the way for nimbler, more integrated, and, ultimately, more effective partnerships.  \nFor the past 17 years New Leaders has provided crucial, high-quality professional development that fosters leadership skills in working educators. Multiple independent studies have confirmed the effectiveness of New Leaders’ training for improving student achievement and school climate.1,2  \nNew Leaders is committed to using data to continuously improve its programming and partnerships. With a longstanding history of sharing lessons with the field to advance effective leadership practices, the organization sought to document and examine the development and implementation of its new blended learning programs. The goals were to learn what worked and what didn’t—and to make specific improvements that could yield stronger results for participants and their students in the future.  \nTwo decades of peer-reviewed studies of in-person, online, and blended instruction have con","cbCaihAPGSL99MD3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihAPGSL99MD3","pdf",2746827,29,"English","# Chapter 1: Blended Learning: Choosing a Recipe for Success\n## Blended Learning in the 2017–18 School Year\n## Evidence and Program Quality\n## Goals and Data-Driven Improvement\n## Findings from a Mixed-Methods Investigation","[{\"question\":\"What blended learning model did New Leaders study in 2017–18?\",\"answer\":\"The study focused on programs combining independent online instruction with in-person professional development, job-embedded practice, and personalized coaching.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the report emphasize quality over delivery method?\",\"answer\":\"It cites peer-reviewed evidence showing that high-quality blended programs outperform low-quality online or in-person programs, and that quality matters more than the delivery format.\"},{\"question\":\"What was the purpose of documenting and examining the blended learning programs?\",\"answer\":\"New Leaders aimed to learn what worked and what didn’t, and use those insights to make specific improvements for future participants and their students.\"}]","BLENDED LEARNING AT NEW LEADERS - Chapter 1 - Blended Learning: Choosing a Recipe for Success | PDF",1792054915,73]
