1. Student Centered Classrooms: Flipping and Beyond Melanie Hester University School Professor Florida State University School Tallahassee Florida Marjorie Miles Dozier, MD District Science Coach Polk County School s Bartow Florida

2. Student Centered/ Learner Centered Classrooms Big on collaboration Seldom are there rows of desks facing in the same direction Teacher facilitator Asking questions, correcting misconceptions, not guardian of the vault of knowledge Open ended assessments Creative products, individualized data, involves student choice Flexibility / Resourcefulness Focus on creation and critical thinking Less emphasis on compliance, students take on active roles, they own it.

3. Is there only one way to do this? NO There are lots of different ways to approach student centered ABC……. Activity before Content EBE…….. Explore before Explain ADI…….. Argument Driven Inquiry Flipping… Content presentation on their time, their pace

4. Activity Before Content - ABC Explore before Explain- EBE

7. Mercury Poisoning  SC.912.L.17.9 Use a food web to identify and distinguish producers, consumers, and decomposers. Explain the pathway of energy transfer through trophic levels and the reduction of available energy at successive trophic levels.  SC.912.E.7.1 Analyze the movement of matter and energy through the different biogeochemical cycles, including water and carbon. Recognize the consequences of the losses of biodiversity due to catastrophic events, climate changes, human activity, and the introduction of invasive, non- native species.  SC.912.L.17.20 Predict the impact of individuals on environmental systems and examine how human lifestyles affect sustainability.  SC.912.L.17.13 Discuss the need for adequate monitoring of environmental parameters-policy  SC.912.L.14.26 Identify the major parts of the brain on diagrams or models.

8. Why ABC or EBE?  Allows ALL students to build background knowledge  Allows ALL students to use the evidence to explain  Can address multiple standards  Connect real world application with standard based instruction  Increase 21 st century critical thinking skills  Increases citizenship through cooperative learning  Increases achievement levels in standardized test Consider ABC is as easy as 123

9. Argument-Driven Inquiry is designed to help more students become proficient in science as a result of their laboratory experiences in school. Argument Driven Inquiry AKA ADI

10. Argument-Driven Inquiry Consists of Eight Stages

11. Flipping  Inverting the traditional teaching structure  Content is delivered outside of class  Engagement, practice, skill development, etc… done in class  Involves collaboration with peers as well as teacher

12. Flipping Not just watching a video  By definition a flipped classroom focuses on how to best utilize face to face time with students  Can be pre-recording lectures and doing hands on activities in class  Can be presenting information and then supplementing with videos for more difficult aspects  Can be teacher created product or an available resource  Content can be presented via, podcasts, videos, material from an online course and PowerPoints  Key point watching passively is not enough, engagement has to happen
