Purpose of the Workshop
As a result of our time together, you will:
Define Flipped Learning
Recognize how the flipped classroom can work
Gain an understanding of the responsibilities of both teachers and students
Begin a plan for flipping an actual lesson/course
How Do You Currently Teach?
Consider:
Think about how you currently structure a class period
Share with someone near you
Large group sharing
What is Flipped Learning?
THINK-WRITE-PAIR-SHARE
THINK: What is flipped learning?
WRITE: Two minute definition
PAIR: Join with a colleague and chat
SHARE: Whole group discussion
Flipped Classroom Pioneers

Your thoughts??
What is Flipped Learning?
Reversing the process; not switching roles
Instruction happens outside of class or independently inside of class
Assignments happen inside of class
Various models
Flipped Learning: What it Is Interactive
Blended Learning
Powerful Aid to students who miss class (for any reason)

PersonalizedWalsh, K. (2013)
Flipped Learning: What it Is NOT!
Synonym for online videos
An online course
Replacing teachers with videos
Students spending time in class staring at computer screens
Students working alone, in isolationWalsh, K. (2013)
Reasons for Flipping a Classroom/Course
Repeated review when needed
Encourage student responsibility
Different/more effective use of “in-class” time
Multitude of free material and media available
Reasons for Flipping a Classroom/Course
Many teachers are already doing some of this
Not costly or complicated
Move at your/your students’ own pace in implementation
Evidence of powerful results
Missed classes
Impact on Students
Helps busy students
Helps struggling students/repetition
Helps all students succeed
Can increase student/teacher and student/student interaction
Differentiation/Self Paced
Focus on Skills and OutcomesBergmann & Sams (2012)
Implementing the Flipped Model
Make a plan
Set goals/expectations for learning
Decide on content for outside class
Create or find resources or use existing ones
Videotape your lecture(s)/Use narrated PowerPoints
Implementing the Flipped Model Use web-based applications such as
Blendspace or Screencast-o-matic
Organize each module for students/plan for “proof of learning”
Account for students with limited access to technology
Plan for in-class assignments (to be discussed further)
Ensuring Student EngagementHave students:
Outline material; their own or one that you provide
Start in-class session with journaling or “pop quiz”
Discussion Boards (if using LMS)
Blogs/Class Twitter/Online journal
Work in pairs to produce a set of notes

Organizing Your Material
Activity #1
Take out your materials.
Join with others in your grade/content or work alone if you choose.
Activity #1
• What course/class might you consider flipping?
• What content/material might students use outside of class?
• What content, that you already have, can be used or transformed for outside engagement?
• Are there outside resources provided by your text publisher (websites, etc.)?
• Is there available content on the Internet that can be used?
Activity #1 SharingWhat did you find easy to do in this process?
What did you find challenging in this process?
Do you realize how much time you will need to plan?
Can you plan with colleagues and share resources?
Will you share some additional thoughts/questions with the group?
Student Responsibilities
Technology Requirements
Ability to commit to the time required
Ability to focus on the tasks at hand
Element of independence
Make a plan/Dedicated time and place
Student Responsibilities
Engage in the flipped lesson
Prepare any notes or materials
Prepare to engage, fully, in class
Be positive
Have an open mind
Using Class Time Discussion and review of content
Work on traditional assignments, i.e., do the Math problems
Peer assistance/editing
More in-depth approach to the content
Opportunity to do some additional exploration or enrichment
Exploration, research, presentations
Assessment of Learning
How do you currently assess? Are there additional assessment
strategies that you can use? Performance Assessments: students
show what they know Projects (can be done in class) Research Presentations (in class) Creative expression for assessment
Evaluating the ModelAfter flipping a lesson or two, consider the following: Were there unforeseen technology
issues?
Were students prepared to engage in class?
How did you feel about “letting go” of the content?
Was there “push back” from students, parents?
Going Deeper
Activity #2
Take out your materials.
Join with others in your grade/content or work alone if you choose.
Go back to your Activity #1 and continue to build
Activity #2For one lesson only, consider:How will you introduce the learning material
that students will use outside of class?
What content will they use outside of class?
How will you help ensure that students engage in the content?
How will you spend class time in the next class session?
How will students demonstrate mastery of the learning material?
Activity #2 SharingWhat did you find easy to do in this process?
What did you find challenging in this process?
Do you realize how much time you will need to plan?
Can you plan with colleagues and share resources?
Will you share some additional thoughts/questions with the group?
