In the ex model, learners move on an
individually customized, uid schedule.
Students learn mostly on the brick-and-
mortar campus, and instructors provide
face-to-face support on a exible, as-needed
basis through small-group instruction, group
projects, and individual tutoring.
Benets:
- Provides a fully personalized learning
experience

- Excellent for team teaching
- Ideal for implementation across an entire
grade level or school
Considerations:
- Requires space and scheduling modications
- Works best when multiple educators and
longer blocks of time are available
- Learners must take ownership over their
learning
Flex model
In the a la carte model, learners take one
or more courses completely online and
also take some courses face to face at their
brick-and-mortar campus or learning center.
Benets:
- Easy to implement on a
student-by-student basis
Considerations:
- Students must be able to successfully
learn in a completely virtual setting
A La Carte model
Implementation examples:
Implementation examples:
Students begin by completing an online
tutorial independently. Throughout the
learning journey, teachers will meet regularly
with each student to discuss his or her
progress. At the culmination of each learning
experience, students will take an online
mastery test before advancing.
Students may choose to complete electives at
home while working on their core courses in a
traditional brick-and-mortar school. Throughout
the learning process, students and teachers
communicate in person, through email, and via
online learning programs.
