Grand Rapids schools receive $400,000 grant to shift some instruction online – Kym Reinstadler, The Grand Rapids Press — resource and quote below from Ray Schroeder
Grand Rapids Public Schools’ proposed shift to a blend of online and direct instruction for most high school students next fall is getting a boost from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. The foundation is awarding the district a $400,000 one-year planning grant to help implement its new model of instruction for core academic classes. The model features a three-day rotation in which students receive direct instruction from a teacher highly qualified in that content area on the first day, a teacher-introduced online module the second day, and continuation of online learning with support from an instructional team of teachers and tutors on the third day.
