Rotation Models
Students shift between learning modalities, with at least one mode as online learning.
Station-Rotation ModelStudents rotate on a fixed schedule or at the teacher's discretion among classroom-based learning modalities, with at least one station for online learning. Other stations might include activities such as small-group or full-class instruction, group projects, individual tutoring, and pencil-and-paper assignments.
Some implementations involve the entire class alternating among activities together, whereas others divide the class into small-group or one-by-one rotations. Individual-Rotation ModelStudents rotate on an individually customized, fixed schedule among learning modalities, at least one of which is online learning.
This model differs from the other Rotation models because student do not necessarily rotate to each available station or modality. |

Lab-Rotation ModelStudents rotate on a fixed schedule among classrooms in the school. At least one is a learning lab for online learning, and the other(s) are classroom(s) for other learning modalities.
The Lab Rotation model differs from the Station Rotation model because students rotate among locations in the school instead of staying in one classroom for the blended course or subject.
Flipped Classroom ModelStudents rotate on a fixed schedule between face-to-face teacher-guided practice (or projects) in school during the school day and online delivery of content and instruction of the same subject from a remote location (often home) after school. The primary delivery of content and instruction is online, which differentiates a Flipped Classroom from students who are only doing homework practice online at night.
The Flipped Classroom model includes some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace because the model allows students to choose the location where they receive content and instruction online. |
Flex ModelThe Flex Model emphasizes online learning, even if it directs students to offline activities at times. Students move on an individually customized, fluid schedule among learning modalities, and the teacher is on-site. The teacher provides face-to-face support on a flexible and adaptive as-needed basis through activities such as small-group instruction, group projects, and individual tutoring.

A La Carte ModelStudents take one or more courses entirely online with an online teacher and at the same time continue to have traditional classroom experiences. Students may take the online courses either in the school or off-site.
This differs from full-time online learning and the Enriched Virtual model because it is not a whole-school experience.
|
Enriched Virtual ModelThis is a whole-school experience in which within each course, students divide their time between attending a traditional school setting and learning remotely using online delivery of content and instruction.
Many Enriched Virtual programs began as full-time online schools and then developed blended programs to provide students with traditional school experiences. Different from the Flipped Classroom, students seldom attend the brick-and-mortar campus every weekday. It differs from the A La Carte model because it is a whole-school experience, not a course-by-course model.
