Blended Learning/Personalized Learning
Imagine the Possibilities
- Imagine a team of your teachers trained to implement today's most effective educational methods – personalized and blended learning.
- Imagine students excited to come to school each day because their voices are heard and their choices matter.
- Imagine a technology enriched learning environment that challenges each individual student while providing data to develop personalized pathways to educational success.
What Is Blended/Personalized Learning?
Blended Learning (BL) and Personalized Learning (PL) are teaching models that are 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 also 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 and its Department of Curriculum & Instruction are paving the way in customized professional development for schools and educators that 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 only universities in the country to offer a Master's Degree in BL/PL. However, 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.

To gain a deeper understanding of the concepts that drive our approach to Blended
and Personalized Learning, please visit our interactive framework of core competencies page. You will find detailed information on the six areas that will lead to the reshaping
of your school or district's culture and how they relate to the learner, the teacher
and the environment.
School District Partnerships
The College of Education at Texas Tech is celebrating successes and creating sustainability
with our current partners. We are also actively seeking new district partners interested
in exploring the transformative nature of BL/PL in their districts. For more information

Case Study Video Library
Our partnership model compels us to consistently provide access to the most up-to-date
