Foreword by Michael Fullan.
Drive student learning with the best of both worlds!
Transition back to school with a comprehensive PD plan that leverages the best of distance learning and classroom instruction.

In this timely, crucial book, Dr. Stepan Mekhitarian constructs a framework for a task force of teachers and leaders to establish an effective blended learning program that capitalizes on the capacity and skills teachers have built while teaching remotely. An innovative blended learning model effectively implemented across school systems will positively impact equity and access for all students. In addition to Blended Learning for Social Justice sections, readers will find
• Ideas for Professional Development sessions for sharing strategies and topics with teams
• Distance Learning vs. Blended Learning sections to help transition various strategies between environments
• Figures, templates, and tech tips to aid in implementation
Learn how to create a powerful learning experience for students that fosters collaboration, engagement, and rigorous learning experiences by combining instructional technology and the best of traditional classroom practice.
