Teaching Strategies
Blended Learning - A combination of traditional teaching methods, such as face-to-face lecture, with Web-based content and instruction.
Flipped Classroom - Teachers deliver lecture materials outside the classroom while re-purposing in-class time for active learning strategies. In simplistic terms, flipped learning can be described as "school work at home and home work at school".
Project Based Learning - Students actively investigate solutions to complex, long-term challenges, often in groups.
Teacher-Led Project Work - Teachers direct active, hands-on learning within the classroom.

What is Blended Learning? A formal education program in which a student learns: at least in part through online learning, with some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace; at least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home; and the modalities along each student’s learning path within a course or subject are connected to provide an integrated learning experience. (Horn and Staker, 2013)
