Blended and personalized classrooms often use time more flexibly, using non-traditional schedules to allow students to work at their own pace, alone, with peers, or in smaller groups. In addition, time is used differently across the school day to give teachers more time for planning, design, and student meetings. Changes to scheduling are accomplished by staffing flexibly during certain times of the day (for example, through having teachers work in teams or through pushing specialist support directly to the core classroom) as well as through the notion of “time technology swaps” where online instruction or practice is used to free up student and teacher time for different types of in-person learning.
