Next Wednesday, November 2, 2pm [EST] Education Week is hosting a free webinar called: Training the Hybrid Educator. Katie Ash is moderating the webinar. I heard her speak last Spring and she’s fabulous, smart and I’m sure will provide great questions for the guest speakers. Register here.
Hybrid learning, which blends face-to-face teaching techniques with online instructional aspects, is a rapidly growing sector of K-12 education. Although each hybrid, or blended, program varies on the spectrum of face-to-face vs. online elements, it is always important to properly train hybrid educators to meet student needs effectively. This chat will address what kinds of professional development are available to hybrid educators, as well as the key factors they need to know to be successful in the classroom. Our guests will share their experiences as hybrid and virtual instructors and talk about the role that hybrid education is playing in K-12 today.
