There were some interesting findings in a Hybrid Instruction study that came out last month. The authors examined Hybrid Instruction in nine states, and based on what they found, they offer some strong recommendations about what works best when face-to-face instruction isn’t possible.

If you’re an acting principal or superintendent, this background information could be very useful for future decision-making. Although the COVID crisis seems to over and most states are back to face-to-face instruction, who knows what tomorrow might bring? Legislation on this issue has swung back and forth over the past few years, and some even suggested that hybrid instruction might be a solution for the national teacher shortage. So as with most issues, it’s always best to be prepared with data from reputable studies.
