I am thrilled to present an innovative new gamified blended learning initiative that I believe will truly engage our students and improve learning outcomes. As a lifelong learner and passionate video game design teacher, I know first-hand the power of game-based learning to motivate and immerse students. 

In this proposal letter, I have posted my vision for integrating game design and gameplay into multiple subject areas to promote collaboration, problem-solving, and passion for learning. Students will help design educational games and alternate between self-paced online learning modules and in-person, teacher-facilitated applied learning. 

As described in my literature review, research shows game-based learning improves student engagement, knowledge retention, and performance. By aligning gameplay to curriculum standards and learning objectives, we can leverage the motivational power of games while also developing critical skills. 

My implementation plan outline provides details on integrating gameplay and design projects across subjects, training teachers on facilitating gamified learning, and leveraging available game design software and resources. I am committed to closely tracking performance data to refine our approach and demonstrate quantifiable results.

I truly believe this initiative will be a game-changer for our students. Educational gameplay keeps students immersed in meaningful challenges tailored to their skill levels and interests. Integrating games designed by students further promotes creativity, collaboration, and real-world skills.

As I further realize how to adopt the growth mindset especially pertaining to my own learning I have started to compile a list of great resources to keep me on track towards my goal of implementing my Innovation Plan. 

I welcome the opportunity to discuss this further and am excited to partner with you on this innovative approach to creating a more engaging, effective learning environment for our students. Let's use the power of play to unlock every student's potential!
