We’re “Flipping” For Common Core Robyn Poulsen & Tammy Casey T3 Regional Instructors Lake Placid High School

"If you are teaching today the same way you were teaching 10 years ago, you're guilty of educational malpractice."

Why We Flipped Increase student contact time. Easier to differentiate instruction. Need time for interractive activities in class. College Readiness

The Student’s Experience Part I The Student’s Experience

AT HOME: Students log in to Math XL watch video lesson answer related questions

IN CLASS: System Complete “First Five Five” (Warm Up) Work: Students log in to TI nSpire Navigator System Complete “First Five Five” (Warm Up) Work: Basic Skills practice Relevant Activity/Applications/ Problem Solving Formative Assessments Throughout

The Teacher’s Experience Part II The Teacher’s Experience

We make all of our own videos THE VIDEOS We make all of our own videos via Camtasia Studio Software http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.html

How do I get my students to actually watch the videos? via MATH XL

What if my students don’t have internet access at home? During Study Halls, part of Lunch, Before/After School: Students can use computer in my room, in the library media center, in one of two computer labs. Can burn DVDs upon request. Most, if not all, students have some sort of phone that will allow them to watch videos. What if my students don’t have internet access at home?

IN CLASS WORK Worksheets that are “leveled” for Differentiated Instruction “MUST – SHOULD – COULD” I create all of these Modified from former homework worksheets Our students do not have textbooks

IN CLASS WORK Time for Hands-On / Interractive / Meaningful Activities from sources like: * education.ti.com * math counts * Dan Meyer 3-Acts * Odyssey of the Mind

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS The TI nSpire Navigator System allows me to constantly assess how my students are doing in class *Screen Capture *Live Presenter *Quick Polls *Pre-prepared Self-Check documents *Pre-prepared Study Card documents

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS Math XL allows me to check how my students did on homework BEFORE they enter class. If many students have struggled on the same question, I immediately adjust my lesson plan to address the problem & reteach as needed. If only one or two students have struggled, I sit with them individually during that class time to help them learn the material.

Still INTERESTED in FLIPPING? My advice: Start the year off right!
