Cindy Elsberry, former superintendent of Horry County Schools in South Carolina, sees blended learning as a way to increase teacher capacity and impact by providing data to better understand student learning needs and the tools for individualized instruction. Elsberry writes for District Administration that there are six models at teachers’ disposal, including a classroom rotation model, where students get a mix of instruction types at various stations, and the face-to-face driver model, where online learning is supplemental and delivered in a traditional classroom. There is also the flex model, in which teachers provide in-person support for a primarily online curriculum; online labs, where students work from computer labs to take online courses; a la carte, which offers online courses to students as a supplement to other courses; and online driver, in which students take their classes remotely but come to a school building for extracurricular activities.
