ABSTRACT

This final chapter provides a summary of the book’s themes, emphasising what the authors view as cornerstones of a new vision for schooling in the modern era. In this respect Chapter 9 reinforces the key concepts and principles of the book, including its core proposition that Blended Learning represents a primary means by which schools and school leaders are able to transform teaching and learning within particular school contexts, that school and curriculum transformation must occur in ways that are meaningful to the modern needs of this context, and that teachers require a specific set of requisite skills to operate with and engage with Blended Learning. The need for systematic contextualisation is further solidified in relation to the particular organisational and resource considerations that are needed to represent the capacity and enabling elements that Blended Learning also requires.
