As Heather Staker and I have written, the models of blended learning most likely to scale into the core academic subjects
at all
levels of schooling in the near term are sustaining
innovations, in which online learning is essentially an augmentation to the traditional
classroom, but there is still a fundamental shift in the learning model from the student's perspective.
Third, because there isn't a lot of obvious nonconsumption of classes or subjects
at the elementary school
level, the future of elementary schools is likely to be largely, but not exclusively, a sustaining
innovation story for the
classroom.
TCTA testified
at the hearing, pointing out that since the law requires that a local district
innovation plan can not be adopted without the approval of the majority of the district -
level decision - making committee, it was critical for the rules to make clear that the law requires the professional staff in a school district to nominate and elect professional staff representatives on the committee, with
at least two - thirds of the elected representatives being
classroom teachers.
