Competencies and Practices for Guiding Kâ12 Blended Teacher Readiness
DOI: 10.4324/9781003037736-17
The increase in blended teaching (BT) across Kâ12 contexts is difficult to measure because âblended teachingâ is defined and implemented in a variety of ways (Graham, 2013; Hrastinski, 2019). Some define BT as using a combination of both in-person and online modalities (Allen & Seaman, 2010; Garrison & Kanuka, 2004; Graham, 2006), while others include certain pedagogical implications within their definition (Alammary et al., 2014; Bower et al., 2015; Diep et al., 2017; Garrison & Vaughan, 2008; Picciano, 2009; Staker & Horn, 2012; Zacharis, 2015). The most common definition in Kâ12 contexts is part of this latter category, describing BT as âat least in part through online delivery, with some element of student control over time, place, path and/or paceâ (Horn & Staker, 2011, p. 3). Watson and Murin (2014) also require some student control over âtime/pace/path/place,â adding that blended learning (BL) âchanges the instructional model away from one-to-many (teacher-to-students) instruction and toward a personalized, data-driven approachâ (p. 13). These definitions describe personalization as essential to BT. While some effective blends have aspects of personalization, such pedagogy is not essential to creating a blend (Arnesen et al., 2019). Measuring Kâ12 implementation of BL is difficult due to definitional murkiness and because implementation can happen at the school level, be led by individual teachers, or remain within individual classrooms (Graham, 2019).
We define BT competencies as the knowledge, skills, and abilities that teachers need to teach in BL contexts, building from competencies presented in Kâ12 Blended Learning: A Guide to Personalized Learning and Online Integration (Graham, Borup, Short et al., 2019). These competencies approach BL in the broadest sense, as an umbrella term for any combination of both online and in-person instruction (Graham, 2013, 2019), and are therefore pedagogically agnostic. Regardless of chosen pedagogies, BT requires a significant paradigm shift for teachers as it differs from the traditional teaching methods many experienced as students and have been trained to use as pre-service and in-service teachers (Greene & Hale, 2017). Various sources have identified or suggested competencies necessary for BT but have not evaluated them in terms of prevalence in practice. Pulham and Graham (2018) reviewed 17 documents with Kâ12 BT competencies and synthesized six competency areas for BT. Subsequently, Pulham et al. (2018) found that many of the individual competencies identified were not specific to BT contexts.
There are pedagogical implications for understanding and identifying the most influential BT competencies. Greene and Hale (2017) called for pre- service and in-service training for blended and online teaching, explaining that twenty-first-century teachers may be expected to âfacilitate learning that lives up to the potential of both modes of educationâ (p. 147). As BL becomes more prevalent, teacher preparation programs need to prepare novice teachers for BT. Pre-service curriculum will need to include competencies specific to blended pedagogy because generic teaching competencies do not capture all the skills necessary for BT (Pulham et al., 2018). Identifying competency areas that are relevant to BT in Kâ12 contexts will help teacher educators know what to emphasize in their pre-service training and how to assist in-service teachers, administrators, and professional development leaders as they transition traditional, in-person classes to blended classes.
Literature Review
As demand for BL increases (Barbour, 2017), understanding the relative prevalence of BT competencies becomes more urgent (Dziuban et al., 2018; Eisenbach, 2016). Researchers have demonstrated that skills and practices associated with BT are not the same as those needed for in-person or online teaching (Pulham et al., 2018; Graham, Borup, Short et al., 2019). Based on frameworks presented in literature, BT is not simply the addition of technology to the classroom (Archambault et al., 2014; Bjekic et al., 2010; Oliver & Stallings, 2014). Yet most PD programs targeting BL focus on technology tools instead of blended competencies (Graham, Borup, Pulham et al., 2019). Since the competencies associated with BT vary so dramatically from those of other forms of teaching, blended education requires a more deliberate and specific emphasis on professional development (Eisenbach, 2016; Ojaleye & Awofala, 2018; Pulham et al., 2018).
Many researchers have identified specific competencies to improve educatorsâ successful implementation of BL (Akarawang et al., 2015; Anthony, 2019; Bjekic et al., 2010; Oliver & Stallings, 2014; Pulham & Graham, 2018). Pulham and Graham (2018) identified eight pre-service teacher competency areas for online and blended learning. Graham, Borup, Pulham et al. (2019) built on this research, creating a rigorously validated framework with 13 competency areas, through which teachers could assess their readiness to start blending. Graham, Borup, Short et al. (2019) refined this work in their guide to BT with a framework consisting of foundational dispositions and technology skills, with four competency areas: online integration, data practices, personalization, and online interaction (Figure 12.1). These competency areas were used to direct the research presented in this chapter.

Research Questions
This research sought to connect the competency areas from Graham, Borup, Short et al. (2019) to current Kâ12 BT practices by answering the following questions:
- How do proposed BT competency areas relate to actual Kâ12 BT pedagogical practices?
- What examples can be found of quality BT practices within the competency areas of online integration, data practices, personalization, and online interaction?
- What areas for potential growth for experienced Kâ12 blended teachers are revealed by investigation of BT competency areas?
Methods
We answered these questions by implementing two separate though related methodologies. First, we analyzed BT artifacts to establish the prevalence of proposed competency areas in BT practices. Second, we analyzed interviews of teachers with BT experience to uncover examples of effective established practices as well as practices needing further development within each competency area.
Artifact Analysis
The artifacts included 959 observations, interviews, and videos created by the Learning Accelerator, a non-profit group dedicated to connecting Kâ12 blended practitioners to the knowledge, tools, and networks needed to effectively blend and personalize instruction. The artifacts were collected from over a dozen Kâ12 districts and span all grade levels. BT competencies from Graham, Borup, Short et al. (2019) were used as a priori codes to analyze the artifacts. We completed independent coding of 372 randomly sampled artifacts, allowing for generalizability to all artifacts with a confidence level of 95% (+/-4%).
Interview Analysis
We identified prospective participants for the interviews through working relationships, recommendations from district-level leaders, recruitment at various conferences, and professional partnerships such as the Learning Accelerator, the Clayton Christensen Institute, and the Digital Learning Collaborative. We requested interviews from strong candidates through email and asked other candidates to fill out a survey designed to vet participants not selected for the first round of interviews. Survey respondents indicating BT experience received additional interview invitations. Participants were located domestically and from various content areas: English language arts, social studies, math, science, computer science, visual and performing arts, and others (see Table 12.1). Their teaching experience ranged from 2 to 20 or more years, and each teacher had at least 1 year of BT experience.
Number of interviews | Grade levels | Subjects |
---|---|---|
2 | K-3 | General |
3 | 4â6 | General |
3 | 7â12 | Humanities (language arts, foreign languages) |
3 | 7â12 | Social sciences (social studies, history) |
3 | 7â12 | STEM (science, engineering, math) |
3 | 7â12 | Arts (visual arts, performing arts, music) |
3 | 7â12 | Other (physical education, health, FACS, special education) |
When candidates agreed to participate, they signed an informed consent form and scheduled an interview. We conducted semi-structured interviews, lasting approximately 90 minutes, using a video conferencing platform that automatically generates transcriptions. We designed the interview protocol to explore participantsâ implementation of the four competency areas identified by Graham, Borup, Short et al. (2019). Research assistants prepared and anonymized the video transcriptions, which we uploaded to NVivo for coding using a thematic analys...
