Best Practices for Teaching in the Hybrid Environment[[image:jeffco_online_ed.jpg align="right"]]
The hybrid model in Jeffco is a hybrid of Face to Face and Online Learning. A minimum of one face to face meeting per week is recommended. The hybrid course is also a first time course, and differs from the credit recovery model in that it is not mastery based.

Best Practice: Be Present
Use the announcements and discussion board to communicate with the students. This lets students know that the teacher cares about who they are, thier questions and concerns, and that you are 'present'. Show your presence daily. Note: Students who feel abandoned or who feel alone may even post questions, such as "Is anybody there?" This is a very clear and unambiguous signal that not all is well. //Mari Hobkirk, Online Learning Specialist//
