Background: Part of providing a relevant and engaging curriculum is providing students choice in their learning. At the high school level the district is actively increasing the types of instructional arrangements for various classes. More and more classes are being taught in a traditional manner and offered in a non-traditional style: Problem-based learning (PBL), Flipped Instruction, Online Instruction, or a blended model.
