BLENDED LEARNING TEACHER OF THE WEEK: MRS. BATES
Q. How long have you been teaching? This is my 6th year teaching. I have taught all 6 years here at Hanford Dole Elementary. I taught 3 years in 5th grade and this is my third year in 1st grade.
Q. What grade do you teach? First Grade
Q. How has your first year went with BL implementation? I have absolutely enjoyed implementing blended learning into my classroom. I knew that there would be challenges, however, the impact that it has made on my student's learning is amazing. I feel that I am able to incorporate teaching best practices and expand my student's ability to learn. The support that I have received from my teammates and administrative team has also been a huge help in making this transition possible.
Q. How has BL changed your thoughts about teaching? The success that I have seen through my students data has truly help boosted my self-confidence as a teacher. I feel that I am making a difference and that I am beginning to master my trade. I feel that I am able to reach each student's needs as a learner and we are able to thrive in the classroom.
Q. If you had one word to describe BL what would say and why? I know it is two, but I would summarize blended learning as, "Game-Changing." The implementation of blended learning has definitely been game-changing in my classroom.
