Educational technology holds significant potential for mathematics educators. Blended learning, in particular, empowers students by offering them choice and flexibility in their mathematical comprehension. To successfully integrate blended learning into their teaching practices, educators must effectively grasp the principles of structuring lessons and classroom environments. Through this professional learning initiative, we aim to equip our mathematics educators with the skills and knowledge to confidently embrace blended learning approaches.
Gulamhussein (2013) recommends five principles for developing a Professional Development Plan.
Significant and ongoing: This plan is formulated to be ongoing, with in-person and asynchronous learning activities for educators on the pilot team. After completing the 15-week semester, educators will reflect and refocus for the following semester. 
Support throughout Implementation: The project Facilitator and the admin team will support educators in peer-to-peer learning. Educators will engage in asynchronous learning activities through Google Classroom and in PLC meetings. 
Active Engagement: Learners can immerse themselves in a dynamic learning environment through role-play, in-class observations, and co-teaching opportunities with peers and mentors.
Modeling: Through observations and co-teaching experiences, learners will directly witness the impact of Blended Learning on the learning environment and students' success.
Content-Specific: The Blended Learning Professional Learning (PL) will focus on mathematics teachers in the first year. The course will use Fink’s 3 column table as its instructional design (see below). 

Resources needed from learners:

• Access to a Reliable Internet Connection

• Personal Laptops (District Issued)

• Books for Book Studies 

• TEKS

• Google Suite Resources 

• District approval for PD hours

Audience Needs:
Math educators have varying levels of proficiency with technology tools. Therefore, it's essential to provide training and ample time for educators to experiment with these tools (Carey, 2019). Module 2 is designed to enhance educators' mathematical technology skills by offering hands-on activities and training on critical mathematical technology tools and resources.

How will you foster collaboration and modeling?
Through active discussions, educators and administrators will collaborate to achieve a common goal for mathematics education. Math teams will create lesson plans using Google Sheets documents, enabling collaboration across all grade levels and among administrative team members. Additionally, Google Classroom will facilitate collaboration through the Professional Learning (PL) program, divided into five learning modules. These modules include discussions, book studies, and in-person Professional Learning Communities (PLCs).

Who will lead what components?
The project facilitator, district math specialists, and advanced academic specialists will collaborate to enhance the educators' learning experience. Additionally, regional support will be sought to address areas of need further.
