Blended
Michael B. Horn
Blended: Using Disruptive Innovation to Improve Schools by Michael B. Horn and Heather Staker is a practical, hands-on guide to transforming K-12 education through blended learning—the thoughtful mix of in-person teaching and online instruction. Drawing on the theory of disruptive innovation, the authors show how schools can move beyond simply adding technology to traditional classrooms and instead design learning models that put students’ needs and progress at the center of instruction. The book builds on ideas from Disrupting Class and lays out a clear framework for implementing blended learning in real schools. It offers step-by-step guidance for educators, administrators, and school leaders on how to combine digital resources with face-to-face teaching to unlock greater personalization, engagement, and flexibility for students. Along the way, Horn and Staker share practical advice on avoiding common pitfalls, ensuring that technology truly supports learning goals rather than distracting from them. Blended is ideal for anyone involved in education—from classroom teachers to district leaders—who wants insightful, actionable strategies for improving schooling through thoughtful innovation rather than quick fixes.
