1. Remember to use both sides of your brain: instruction and management.

Blended learning is any time a student learns at least in part at a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home and at least in part through online delivery with some element of student control over time, path, and/or pace.

The definition implies simple remote correspondence—like online videoconferencing or web chatting in a real-time environment only—does not qualify as blended learning, and perhaps points to a theoretical division between the labels of "online" and "distance" learning.

The report then labels six types of blended learning approaches:• face-to-face driver programs where teachers deliver most instruction in a live classroom and use online activities to supplement or remediate what goes on in the brick-and-mortar school;• rotation models where students follow a schedule that alternates between face-to-face class sessions and in-person instruction;• flex formats where most of the curriculum originates online, but an on-site instructor provides instruction as needed in individual and small group sessions;• online lab sessions where students do work online, but in a computer lab at a brick-and-mortar school with aides who offer supervision but little subject guidance;• self-blend schools where students may take online courses a la carte to supplement their brick-and-mortar school's curriculum; and• online driver constructs where students receive most of the course online and independently, but participate in required or optional face-to-face meetings.

Nine Warning Signs an Employee Needs to be Let Go

1. Things don’t improve with a change of scenery - Maybe it’s the relationship with their boss, certain peers, or the nature of the work has changed and the employee is struggling to perform at his best. Whatever the reason, moving the employee to another role or department can get him back on track.

2. You feel like you have to walk on eggshells around the employee

Seize the moment by being alert and available

People who have something to say, but not the nerve to say it, are often compelled to find opportunities to get closer to the bright lights of power and pose seemingly innocuous questions.

• Expose people’s fears

“I would delegate more if I …” I received these primary responses: Trusted my colleagues more Wasn’t so controlling Had more time to think about what to delegate Knew how

Decide what to delegate.

Pick the right person or group.

1. Realize it’s not you

The problem is the emotional instability of the other person.

2. Don’t cater to their demands

…don’t fundamentally believe communication is important. 

but many leaders don’t buy into it as a personal priority

…have forgotten what it’s like to not be the boss.
