What Is Blended/Personalized Learning?

Blended Learning (BL) and Personalized Learning (PL) are teaching models based on the needs of students, the transformative thinking of teachers, and the willingness of school districts to embrace visionary goals – all based on measurable data that drives change. Collaboration is at the heart of successful BL/PL and through a partnership with the Raise Your Hand Texas Foundation and several pioneering school districts, Texas Tech University's College of Education is paving the way in customized professional development for schools and educators who will settle for nothing less than the best learning outcomes for their students.

Through partnerships with Dallas ISD and Raise Your Hand Texas, we have developed a Graduate Certificate Program in Blended and Personalized Learning and are also one of the few universities in the country to offer graduate degrees in BL/PL. Our commitment to BL/PL and our belief that this is the future of education go far beyond traditional certificates or degrees. Our programs are created in a cohort model with distance delivery specific to the needs of your district and personalized to address your unique challenges. We invite you to explore this site to learn more about BL/PL and how we can partner with you and your team to best serve the needs of your district.
