Richland High Host Blended Site Visit

Richland High School welcomed over a dozen visitors from Coppell ISD to showcase blended learning.  The English I teachers are in their second year of blending, while English II is just beginning their second semester of blending.

In April of 2016 Birdville ISD was the recipient of a Raising Blended Learners grant, awarded by Raise Your Hand Texas.  Because initial implementation of the grant was planned for English I, the English teachers at the three high school in Birdville embarked on a learning journey that included identifying the five blended pillars that guide the classroom implementation.

Fast-forward 18 months and Birdville ISD is now recognized as a showcase site where other districts can visit classrooms and meet with teachers and school leaders to gain greater insight into both the design and implementation process.

Congratulations to Carla Rix and the entire Richland High Staff who were commended today for showcasing a culture of innovation and excellence, where students are celebrated and at the heart of every instructional and operational decision.
