Educational Philosophy

 Our Approach is that of the Growth Mindset Abilities can be developed though dedication and hard work-

brains and talent are just the starting point.

 Provide environment where struggle and failure is em bra ced

 We use a minor setback as spring-board to mastery understanding.  Try, Fail…

REPEAT!

 Constant Encouragement!

 Stress the effort, not just the accomplishment

The Flipped Classroom

 Jon Bergmann and Aaron Sams began the

flipped classroom educational phenomena.

 It started with a simple observation:

Students need their teachers present to answer questions or to provide help if they get stuck on an assignment; they don’t need their teachers present to listen to a lecture or review content.

 Students watched recorded lectures for

homework and completed their assignments, labs, and tests in class with their teacher available.

 Mr. Hampt and Mrs. McGuire teach

chemistry, a problem solving class. The FLIPPED classroom seemed to be a perfect fit.

Where did the time go? (Probably #1 Reason we wanted to try Flipping)

What/How/Why, Engaged to Learn What/How/Why, Engaged to Learn

Issues We Encountered as Teachers

 Making Videos

 Time  Place  Software

 Instructional Delivery

Platform:

 Edmodo  CCPS OneDrive  Weebly for Education

 Technology issues

 Home computer availability:

SET/ FLEX, Before/ After School, Class time

 Internet availability: Flash drive,

DVD

 Smartphone/ Data plan: CCPS

WiFi

 Struggling with content

 Mini-lectures with small groups  Occasional “traditional” lessons  Talk with Mr. Hampt/ Mrs.

McGuire as much as needed!

Making Videos

Time: Planning, Before/ After school, at home Place: Home, school, anywhere Software: Evolves as technology and CCPS policies change

What FLIPPED Offers

 Increased personalized tim e

between EACH student and teacher

 An environment where students

take responsibility for their learning

 A blending of direct instruction

with constructivist learning

 A class where content is

permanently archived

 Extra class time where students can

struggle and fail and try AGAIN!

What we found AFTER we FLIPPED

 More face-to-face time with each student  Changed role of classroom to learning

spaces

 Changed role of student and teacher  Allotted more time for inquiry-based

classroom activities

 Videos/ lectures show “how”  Inquiry activities, labs and repeated

problem solving (trial and ERROR!) is w hen lea rning rea lly ha p p ens

Surprise Bonus: Flipped Mastery-Learning Model

 Allowing students the opportunity to be responsible

for their learning and providing a clear plan:

 Teachers can offer im m ed ia te formative feedback  Teachers can differentiate to each students' needs  Students are self motivated to m a ster learning targets  Students move at their own pace and frequently move ahead  Assessments can be given as students are ready  Students can PLAN the pace of their education to better

balance all their responsibilities Ex. Sports, music, drama, National Honor Society, Key Club, community volunteering, part-time job, etc.
