For the purposes of this grant, the DECE is continuing the implementation of innovative blended early learning tablet based programs that foster the learning and development of young children and facilitates education equity. The purpose of the Blended Early Learning Innovation Pilot grant program is to provide school districts with the ability to design and pilot innovative blended early learning tablet based instructional models based on the goal of improving childrens mastery of literacy and mathematics skills. Pilot programs assist students in Kindergarten (K) through third (3) grades in attaining skills necessary to meet the rigorous requirements of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards. All proposed programs provide participating students with innovative blended early learning opportunities that incorporate the use of tablets as a means of helping students: Increase literacy and math proficiency through tablet-based ELA and math curricula. Improve mastery of math and literacy skills by selecting and piloting tablet-based literacy and math programs in select schools. The programs incorporate the following innovative blended instructional models as a means of effectively achieving the outcomes listed above. Blended Learning Definition Blended Learning: As defined by the Clay Christensen Institute The definition of blended learning is a formal education program in which a student learns: (1)at least in part through online learning, with some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace; (2)at least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home; (3)and the modalities along each students learning path within a course or subject are connected to provide an integrated learning experience. The majority of blended-learning programs resemble one of four models: Rotation, Flex, A La Carte, and Enriched Virtual. The Rotation model includes four sub-models: Station Rotation, Lab Rotation, Flipped Classroom, and Individual Rotation. This taxonomy will evolve as the practice of blended learning matures.  HYPERLINK "http://www.christenseninstitute.org/blended-learning-definitions-and-models/" http://www.christenseninstitute.org/blended-learning-definitions-and-models/ The Institute maintains a Blended Learning Universe, a rapidly growing, searchable database of K-12 blended-learning programs. This blended-learning resource and more are available.  HYPERLINK "http://www.christenseninstitute.org/blended-learning-universe/" http://www.christenseninstitute.org/blended-learning-universe/ Competency Based or Personalized Learning Models As defined by the United States Department of Education  HYPERLINK "http://www.ed.gov/oii-news/competency-based-learning-or-personalized-learning" http://www.ed.gov/oii-news/competency-based-learning-or-personalized-learning : By enabling students to master skills at their own pace, competency-based learning systems help to save both time and money. Depending on the strategy pursued, competency-based systems also create multiple pathways to graduation, make better use of technology, support new staffing patterns that utilize teacher skills and interests differently, take advantage of learning opportunities outside of school hours and walls, and help identify opportunities to target interventions to meet the specific learning needs of students. Each of these presents an opportunity to achieve greater efficiency and increase productivity. Student-Centered Learning: the integration of technology to support learning, such as 1:1 initiatives. This may include innovative approaches which foster student centered instructional time. A definition of student centered learning can be found via the following reference: Student-centered instruction [SCI] is an instructional approach in which students influence the content, activities, materials, and pace of learning. This learning model places the student (learner) in the center of the learning process. The instructor provides students with opportunities to learn independently and from one another and coaches them in the skills they need to do so effectively. The SCI approach includes such techniques as substituting active learning experiences for lectures, assigning open-ended problems and problems requiring critical or creative thinking that cannot be solved by following text examples, involving students in simulations and role plays, and using self-paced and/or cooperative (team-based) learning. Properly implemented SCI can lead to increased motivation to learn, greater retention of knowledge, deeper understanding, and more positive attitudes towards the subject being taught (Collins & O'Brien, 2003). According to the United States Department of Education (USED) Office of Early Learning ( HYPERLINK "http://www.ed.gov/early-learning" http://www.ed.gov/early-learning), the foundation of a thriving middle class is access to a strong education for every child beginning in the first few years of life. Sadly, millions of children in this country are cut off from quality early learning. The Obama administration is committed to closing this opportunity gap by working with states and local communities to expand high-quality early education programs for our nation's children. The Need Currently, districts struggle with utilizing technology as a strategy to help ensure childrens success in developing literacy and math skills starting in kindergarten through third grade. This pilot is designed to assist districts in integrating technology throughout the school day in ways that are both rigorous and appropriate for young children. The Goal The goal is to provide high-quality early learning opportunities to all children in America so that they enter kindergarten ready to succeed in school and in life. In conjunction with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the U.S. Department of Education will work to significantly expand and improve services for young children and their families. According to the United States Department of Educations National Education Technology Plan, a core set of standards-based concepts and competencies should form the basis of what all students should learn. Beyond that, students and educators should have options for engaging in learning: large groups, small groups, and work tailored to the individual goals, needs, interests, and prior experience of each learner. Technology should be leveraged to provide access to more learning resources than are available in classrooms and connections to a wider set of "educators," including teachers, parents, experts, and mentors outside the classroom. It also should be used to enable 24/7 and lifelong learning. ( HYPERLINK "http://tech.ed.gov/netp/" http://tech.ed.gov/netp/). Blended Early Learning Innovation Pilot Characteristics To ensure that young childrens English language arts and Mathematics competencies are maximized, the Blended Early Learning Innovation Pilot instructional programs may implement the following components: Project activities with blended learning instruction that encourage intentional innovative lesson planning and on-going communication among participating educators; Regularly scheduled tablet and/or software based professional development; Professional learning communities that support the use of the tablet or computer-based programs; Student-centered learning environments, including interdisciplinary planning with participating program staff to design learning experiences that are innovative, relevant and of interest to students; Innovative experiential learning, problem solving, self-direction (competency based/mastery learning), creativity, exploration, and expression, by using a blended guided-inquiry approach to promote curiosity, responsibility, and confidence in the use of technology in ways that are innovative. Early learning resources that directly benefit the Blended Early Learning Innovation Pilot program participants; Family access to information about early learning innovation literacy (this may include providing families with information about what innovative blended early learning models are and what the models may look like within their childs classroom; also tips on how they can help foster innovative blended early learning practices at home) and related educational content on innovative instructional practices that are conducive to student success; Research based student data collection methodologies to evaluate academic achievement, engagement in learning, social and communication skills; Plans for sustainability via the use of additional funding sources beyond year two; and Appropriate domains of early learning related to child outcome, such as social emotional development, approaches to learning, cognitive development, physical development and language. Blended Early Learning Innovation Pilot Outcomes The provision of innovative tablet-based early learning blended environment instructional models fostered through this grant program will: Increase young childrens learning and development by offering high-quality tablet based innovative instruction in core academic areas such as language arts literacy and mathematics Foster student engagement through innovative instructional approaches; this may be enhancements to the current curriculum or the use of pre-existing programs. Improve educator effectiveness by allowing for more personalized and innovative approaches to learning which foster student autonomy Build the DECE Community; all grantees will serve as active members in the Innovative Early Learner affinity group.

SECTION 2: PROJECT GUIDELINES The intent of this section is to provide the applicant with the framework within which it will plan, design, and develop its proposed project to meet the purpose of this grant program. Before preparing applications, potential applicants are advised to review Section 1.1, Description of the Grant Program, of this NGO to ensure a full understanding of the states vision and purpose for offering the program. Additionally, the information contained in Section 2 will complete the applicants understanding of the specific considerations and requirements that are to be considered and/or addressed in their project. Please note that the passage of N.J.A.C. 6A:23A-7 places additional administrative requirements on the travel of school district personnel. The applicant is urged to be mindful of these requirements as they may impact the ability of school district personnel to participate in activities sponsored by the grant program. PROJECT DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS The goal of the Blended Early Learning Innovation Pilot program is to increase student achievement (in a manner appropriate for young children) in the New Jersey Student Learning Standards through the development and implementation of long term, sustainable and innovative blended early learning programs that effectively incorporate the use of technology. Personalized Learning, Blended Learning, and Mastery/Competency Based Learning Descriptions Applicants may incorporate personalized learning models into their Blended Early Learning Pilot applications. These learning models can be used to foster collaboration among students, and can also be used as a means of creating multifaceted innovative approaches to instruction that incorporate technology as a standard practice within a classroom, group of classrooms, or up to two schools. The blended learning model provides the opportunity for teachers to serve as facilitators of innovative instruction that can be interdisciplinary and accommodate the variations in student learning styles. A blended learning program may include the incorporation of online learning or instruction that takes place within a virtual environment, allowing the applicant to extend their school day or year outside the traditional brick and mortar setting. The Blended Early Learning Innovation Pilot applicants utilizing such an approach should include the details on the learning management system that will be utilized, and how data on student use, progress and outcomes will be collected. The blended learning approach also provides students with more control over the pace at which they are learning and the timeframe in which tasks are completed may be part of the goal. Integrated learning experiences that expose students to innovative content knowledge acquisition are encouraged. Innovative learning opportunities of this type can be implemented in an individualized or group instructional fashion. Mastery/competency based or personalized learning models can be utilized as standalone approaches or as building blocks to differentiate instruction for each individual student. PROJECT REQUIREMENTS Connections to the standards: Applicants must implement innovative early learning programming as described in section 1.1 and 2.1. Direct connections to the developmentally appropriate implementation of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards must be accounted for in all program design components where applicable. Student Criteria: Applicants are required to define how student participation rates will be measured based on the structure of the applicant program. Participation rates for all offered programming must not fall below 90% on the days in which innovative programming is in operation. Participants must be within grades Kindergarten through 3rd grade. Programs must serve a minimum of 40 students per school. School districts are encouraged to provide the innovative approaches to student populations eligible for free and/or reduced lunch. Blended Early Learning Innovation Pilot funds cannot be used to provide services to grades 4-12. Regular attendance by all participants is expected in order to achieve significant improvement in participant outcomes. The applicant must carefully plan and develop innovative programming that encourages daily participation. This may be achieved via the implementation of programming which offers a seamless transition into innovative extended learning practices as applicable to the category of program selected. Instructional Staff Criteria: Instructional staff selected to administer the Blended Early Learning Innovation Pilot should be members in good standing within the grantee district and have a background in early childhood education. All instructional staff should posses the required certification. Any project leader selected must provide all necessary information certifications and curricula vitae as a means of substantiating their qualifications and abilities to effectively implement high quality blended early learning innovation pilots. Project leaders are to serve as liaison between the DECE and provide program highlights and progress for spotlight consideration on the state departments website. All instructional staff members involved in the pilot must attend all designed innovative instructional practice professional development opportunities developed by the grantee school district. This ensures effective implementation and sustainability going forward. Professional development on topics specifically pertaining to next generation instructional practices is required and should be documented as a part of the program evaluation process. This is to ensure that all staff members consider innovative practices as a part of their personal professional improvement plans. School District Criteria:. Provide an update on the communications plan must be included which describes the Pilot itself, who is participating (both children and teachers), and reports on implementation as the Pilot progresses. Parental Involvement Provide an update on how the program is getting parent feedback on all facets of the program design and implementation, including asking for input on what and how activities should be provided for them and their children. Additionally, provide an update on how the district informs parents of childs progress in program. The Department expects that programs will have implemented a minimum of one (1) parental involvement activity a month. Intentional Connection to the Curriculum Programs are expected to embed the following practices within their Blended Early Learning Innovation Pilot initiatives: Identify the linkage of program activities to the New Jersey Student Learning Standards, and describe how they build upon young childrens learning styles (e.g. promoting self-regulation, persistence, and problem solving skills); Document the linkage with the school day through lesson plans, progress reports, and regularly-scheduled meetings; Ensure the blended learning time program staff participate in school meetings and committees, such as professional learning communities and school improvement teams; and Coordinate school staff to identify appropriate support personnel for the program. Link professional development to identified school-based goals and learning objectives which should include references to innovative instructional practices. Professional Development It is the intention of this NGO to enhance staff capacity through professional development for both school day and extended learning staff on relevant out-of-school time topics. In an effort to ensure linkage with the traditional school day instruction, applicants are required to adhere to the professional development requirements listed below as part of the design of the program: Applicants are required to conduct a minimum of one staff orientation and one in-service training in which all program staff are required to attend. Training topics must be aligned with the goals and objectives of the Blended Early Learning Innovation Pilot program and should be tailored to each programs areas of focus. Applicants may allocate funds for expenses related to consultant fees to conduct the trainings. Any awarded school district that chooses an innovation partner is required to attend a minimum of two staff training opportunities that are directly related to the implementation of the blended early learning innovation pilot as determined by the project director. Sustainability The vision of the New Jersey Blended Early Learning Innovation Pilot program is to develop and support long-term, sustainable programs that enhance or improve young childrens learning and development. The NJDOE expects the advisory board will work with program administrators in the development and implementation of a sustainability plan. Provide an update on how the programs will be sustained.
