Promising Blended Models for Barrington 220
Model Feasibility Notes
Station Rotation Already occurring. Excellent option for PK–8.
Lab Rotation Moving away from “computer lab” model with One to World.
Flipped Classroom Already occurring in some classrooms.
Individual Rotation Limited use. Not designed as a building-wide model.
Flex Model Model would work as a high school late-start schedule implementation.
À la Carte Model Most practical for individual students.
Enriched-Virtual Model Used mostly for alternative or all-blended schools.
