Preparing Teachers for Success in Hybrid Learning Environments

Preparing Teachers for Success in Hybrid Learning Environments

 

Hybrid learning has emerged as a powerful method of educating students in the post-pandemic era. By combining both synchronous and asynchronous models for both online and in-present student cohorts, hybrid learning leverages the latest video and cloud-based technologies to provide students with more personalized forms of instruction. Over the past two years, school districts have focused heavily on getting students back into the classrooms, either virtually or in-person. However, teachers often face a lack of support and resources for navigating these new environments. A recent shocking survey shows that 55% of teachers are considering leaving their professions. Today, more than ever, teachers need professional development (PD) and training that prepares them for success in the hybrid classroom of the 21^st century.

 

What is Hybrid Learning Professional Development?

 

While there’s no formal definition, Hybrid Learning PD can be described as a systematic approach to equipping teachers with the tools, technologies, and resources, necessary to provide optimal hybrid learning resources to students. There are a number of blogs that have raised awareness of this need. For example, the College of DuPage has put together a helpful guide called An Introduction to Hybrid Teaching, which outlines best practices, tips on planning hybrid courses, and how to structure classes and activities. Other resources have focused on the importance of maximizing the usage of video, which has become the mainstay of hybrid teaching. Aside from the obvious technological emphasis, teacher PD training must also provide opportunities for self-reflection, personalized feedback, and a focus on mind-body wellness.
