G OALS OF T ODAY ’ S L ESSON : Begin creating a flipped lesson by using Sophia.org as the platform Choose a lesson to use in flipping the classroom Create a personal philosophy related to flipping the classroom Apply flipping classroom theory in lesson planning and delivery Introduce the flipped classroom to teachers who may be unfamiliar with the topic and educate them on the concept

3. D EFINITION OF A F LIPPED C LASSROOM A classroom that uses videos/podcasts as instructional tools to help time- shift the instruction of concepts so students receive the most support (teacher and classmate presence) when they are working on the heaviest cognitive load (actually solving problems and working on understanding/usin g the content by themselves). (Crystal Kirch)

4. T HOUGHTS ON THE F LIPPED C LASSROOM Creating a "Flipped Classroom" is a constant work in progress Using this ideology has the ultimate goal of increasing student understanding and ownership of the content. This may look a little different in every class, this may look a little different every year… We must constantly strive to find ways to help support our students in their learning and help them to develop into reflective, responsible, and self-directed learners!

5. T HOUGHTS ON THE F LIPPED C LASSROOM There is no ONE flipped classroom. Take pieces of everything you see and make it work with your students in your classroom.

6. P URPOSES FOR F LIPPING Students learning at different paces (slow, medium, fast) Students missing important pieces of information from class even though they were "present” Students absent (sick, sports, etc) and missing critical lessons Students not completing homework fully or correctly at home because they "forgot" how to do it from class (or simply copying from a friend) Teacher spending most of class time going over problems and not giving students a lot of time to practice on their own with support Teacher spending many extra hours tutoring and re-explaining to students who didn't "get it" in class StudentsTeachers

7. G OALS OF THE F LIPPED C LASSROOM Create an engaging, interactive environment that is student- centered. Make the best use of your face-to-face time with your students. Practice, application, and working with content is done inside of class. Focus on deeper meaning and connections, not just basic rote memorization and practice.

8. F LIPPED C LASSROOM VS. T RADITIONAL C LASSROOM Teacher teaches lesson in class Students take notes. Students receive some guided practice in class. Students go home and complete problems independently for homework Teacher teaches lesson at home (usually via video or podcast, but this can also be done through students reading articles, textbooks, looking at pictures, models, demonstrations, etc). Students come to class ready to apply, discuss, and make connections with the content. Students receive support, help, and clarification from the teacher as needed.

9. T EACHER B ENEFITS AND G OALS Revisit concepts students don't understand in a more differentiated environment Create a dynamic, engaging, and interactive classroom focused on student-to- student interactions Students who might not have technology or parents to help them outside of school now have teachers guiding and supporting them in class Work one-on-one with every student in my class every day as they need it Work with individuals and small groups in class Differentiation Student support Review and remediation Class environment

10. S TUDENT B ENEFITS AND G OALS Being absent (sick, extra- curriculars) and missing content – can access anywhere, anytime Lesson being taught too fast to comprehend Getting stuck on homework problems with no support Being bored because content is too easy Forgetting old material and having no way to re- access it Being an active, responsible learner Working and collaborating with classmates to deepen understanding Being in charge of their learning and their success in the class. Working with concepts they need more support in understanding Managing their time to meet given learning objectives Don’t have to worry about… Can focus on…

11. Q UESTION TO ASK YOURSELF : What is the best use of my face-to-face time with my students? Talking at them in class? Working with them in class?

Clear objectives and purposes for each lesson need to be presented Students need clear guidance and expectations A 40-minute in class lecture can be whittled down to a 10 minute video Focus on the most important aspects No interruptions! Have students engaged in learning during the video Take notes during the videos, Complete a WSQ or other reflective piece Complete a few examples on their own
