A CLEAR BLEND: The Michael and Susan Dell Foundation has released the first of five blended learning case studies conducted by FSG. The five participating organizations--KIPP LA, Summit Public Schools, FirstLine Schools, Alliance College-Ready Public Schools, and Rocketship Education--are part of a blended learning cohort that the Dell Foundation funded in some part during the 2011-2012 school year. The first release profiles a rotational blended learning model implemented at KIPP Empower Academy. Entrepreneurs seeking to get a glimpse at how the school runs its rotational blended learning model will grok over the operations and financial sections, which dive deep into the nitty gritty details such as staffing models and spending/savings per pupil.
