Blended and personalized classrooms employ different modes of in-person learning. These can include:

• Direct instruction, where a skill-set or concept is explicitly taught using lectures or demonstrations;
• Peer-to-peer learning, where students work collaboratively;
• Small-group instruction, where a teacher divides the class to focus on instruction or coaching with a subset of students;
• One-to-one tutoring, where a teacher provides one student with direct support and coaching; and
• Individual practice and/or reflection, where a student works alone but in close proximity to peers and teachers so they can ask for help or engage others as needed or desired.
