Hybrid Courses

Cambridge-Isanti High School is thrilled to offer students Hybrid Learning opportunities. A hybrid course combines the best of online learning and instruction, with face to face (traditional) learning and instruction. In a hybrid course, students will have a blend of on-campus, in class instruction, with online learning/non-classroom days of instruction. Hybrid courses are a great way to develop the academic responsibility, independent learning, and self-advocacy skills that will be required in our students’ futures. The expectations and workload will not diminish as a result of this change. 

• During non-classroom learning days, students will be expected to complete assignments and engage in activities related to class. Students will also be asked to engage in online discussions, online collaboration with peers, teacher conferencing, and/or other communicated tasks from the course instructor. Teachers will be available, in their classroom, during the assigned hour of the hybrid/blended learning course for support and guidance. Students may also communicate electronically with their course instructor during non-classroom learning days. 
   
• Students may use one of the identified learning spaces available to students for non-classroom learning days. Students may also work in the teacher's classroom in which they are assigned to for the given course. 
   
• Hybrid courses will meet face-to-face approximately 50% of the time. The instructor will decide the calendar for the course and students will report whenever the teacher requires face-to-face attendance. In many cases the course will meet every day for the first several weeks of the semester and then reduce to a modified meeting schedule. The teacher will determine how often the class will meet face-to-face versus non-classroom requirements. This may vary from course to course.
