Innovations in Learning: A Closer Look at Technology-Enabled Academic Learning (TEAL)
TEAL is a signature project of DIL. Middle-grade students benefit from DIL video lessons in core subjects, which are complemented by student-centered learning activities and assessments. This program has revolutionized teaching and learning by transforming the teacher’s role from one of direct instruction to guiding students in their acquisition of knowledge, thereby fostering active student engagement.
