The Rise of K-12 Blended Learning

Blended learning is poised to transform American education by personalizing student learning – uniting the highest-quality online content with highly effective educators in “live” instruction and supervisory roles. This white paper from Innosight Institute, the Charter School Growth Fund, and Public Impact:

  • defines six models of blended learning,
  • provides vivid examples of blended learning in action, and
  • discusses both the technology and policies needed to realize the promise of blended learning.

The white paper highlights the importance of creating policy environments that grant innovative educators autonomy, enabling them to design and implement models based on affordable quality and personalization. In these policy environments, the focus of regulation must not be on input-focused rules, but on accountability for outcomes.

Delivering on the Promise: How Missouri Can Grow Excellent, Accountable Public Charter Schools

In this report, Nelson Smith of the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools examines the development and status of Missouri’s charter schools and provides policy and practice recommendations to move these schools toward becoming a vibrant sector of high-performing options for students and families.

With funding from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and research support from Public Impact’s Bryan Hassel, Dana Brinson, and Lyria Boast, Mr. Smith concludes that several steps are necessary to deliver on the promise of great charter schools in Missouri.  He suggests closing chronically low-performing charter schools and strengthening the authorizing environment among other recommendations.
