Student-Centered Blended Learning

Here is an excellent video clip from Edutopia that shows what a student-centered blended learning class looks like.

It shows how students at different learning levels can master skills and content at their own pace.  Instead of listening to a lecture, students usually start class with a video and take notes.  They then move on to an actual lesson assignment and then to an exit ticket to show mastery.

Some students have to listen to the video a couple of times while some might need to listen only once.  Consequently, students are often working on different lessons.  The teacher circulates and helps students as needed.

This sounds great but seems to require a big investment in planning multiple lessons each day.  While one student works on lesson two, another might be working on lesson four, which means teachers have to have a lot of lessons on tap each day, if I understand the concept correctly.
