About This School

Model Overview

Station Rotation

Green Sea Floyds High School uses a three-station rotational model. At one station students learn from online content and other digital resources. At another, a teacher works with a small group of students who are grouped together based on formative and summative assessment data. The final station is focused on either independent or collaborative work, where students use their personal devices to create a product, and is usually focus on higher-order thinking skills.

Implementation Q & A

What was one of your biggest challenges when going blended, and how did you overcome it?

GSFHS's greatest challenge when implementing its blended-learning program was increasing teacher buy-In. The school is still working to solve this problem, but has made significant progress by with staff development focused on modeling the rotational set-up and frequent collaborative conversations.

What's the one piece of advice you'd give to emerging blended-learning programs?

Andrea Pridgen, principal of GSFHS, encourages schools to perservere through the initial difficulties that they will encounter when implementing blended learning. "Keep working on it! Blended learning is a process that takes time to implement," she said.
