Dr. Janet Corral from the University of Colorado presented on a new Teacher Scholar Program (TSP) curriculum that uses a hybrid model integrating 21st century tools. The new model addresses needs like allowing more time for projects by meeting less frequently and providing more structure. It incorporates pre-activities, evaluations, and tools like learning management systems, surveys, and calendars. Early feedback showed students needing help with the learning management system initially and later with finding posts and completing projects. The design-based approach allows ongoing improvements based on feedback.
