📚 The student-centered model of blended learning helps reduce anxiety and increase student commitment to learning.

⏰ Students can pick up where they left off in the classroom, allowing them to progress at their own pace.

🏫 Eastern High School in Washington, D.C. faces challenges due to varied levels of academic performance and personal experiences among students.

📚 The traditional model of teaching was ineffective, leading to the adoption of a student-centered approach.

💻 The instructional model includes blended learning, self-paced structure, and mastery-based grading.

🎯 Students engage in various activities such as watching instructional videos, collaborating on assignments, and working on exit tickets to achieve mastery.
