The Blended WayOdysseyware offers a multi-level, phased set of workshops and service offerings designed to help implement and enhance blended learning initiatives, anchored by our proprietary planning guide, The Blended Way. An Odysseyware consultant will work with districts to build a solid foundation and ensure they have the tools and support needed to implement blended learning effectively. The Blended Way series of workshops and customizable services package includes five key phases:

Blended Learning Curriculum LibraryIn addition to over 300 Odysseyware® courses across grades 3-12 that can be used in blended learning environments, Odysseyware offers a Blended Learning Library designed specifically for use within math and English Language Arts courses.

Included with the Odysseyware subscription, the Blended Learning Library contains over 764 digital math and English Language Arts lessons consisting of: a direct instruction video or animation; examples and explanations; and independent practice items.

Art of Digital Teaching CourseThe Art of Digital Teaching– a self-paced, online professional development course– was purpose-built for supporting teachers in blended learning initiatives. The course:

○ Gives teachers critical supports to effectively align in-person and online instruction, including real-life applications of digital teaching strategies.

○ Informs teachers about how to best facilitate students’ online learning.

○ Shares best practices in blended learning, and common pitfalls to avoid via a variety of interactive lessons, projects, and assessments.

○ Culminates with a digital teaching portfolio with reflections.

What my students like as compared to other programs is

they feel they have more control over their progress in Odysseyware and can easily go back and review material. One of the best things is seeing the students I’ve worked

with graduating.”
