The models of blended learning that fall within the hybrid zone are on a sustaining trajectory relative
to the traditional classroom. They are poised to build upon and offer sustaining enhancements
to, but not disrupt, the factory-style classroom. For many education leaders, the arrival of these
innovations is welcomed news. Schools that are struggling with flat or deteriorating test scores
and strained budgets can find relief by harnessing the efficiencies that models such as the Station
Rotation, Lab Rotation, and Flipped Classroom bring to the system. Sustaining innovation is a
crucial part of any successful organization.
