  1. Flipping the Classroom and Mastery Linda Brasher Grady High School

  2. In The Beginning Conference Attended Great Idea I can do this - (I’m crazy busy and not very technology savvy)

  3. What is a Flipped Classroom • Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams • The traditional definition of a flipped class is: • Where videos take the place of direct instruction • This then allows students to get individual time in class to work with their teacher on key learning activities. • It is called the flipped class because what used to be classwork (the "lecture" is done at home via teacher-created videos and what used to be homework (assigned problems) is now done in class.

  4. The Flipped Classroom is NOT: • A synonym for online videos. When most people hear about the flipped class all they think about are the videos.  • It is the the interaction and the meaningful learning activities that occur during the face-to-face time that is most important. • About replacing teachers with videos. • An online course. • Students working without structure. • Students spending the entire class staring at a computer screen. • Students working in isolation. 

  5. The Flipped Classroom IS: • A means to INCREASE interaction and personalized contact time between students and teachers. • An environment where students take responsibility for their own learning.  • A classroom where the teacher is not the "sage on the stage", but the "guide on the side". • A blending of direct instruction with constructivist learning. • A classroom where students who are absent due to illness or extra-curricular activities such as athletics or field-trips, don't get left behind. • A class where content is permanently archived  for review or remediation. • A class where all students are engaged in their learning. • A place where all students can get a personalized education.

  6. Mastery of Standards • Students don’t receive zeros for missed work. •  Any and every assignment given can be turned in for full credit. •  No more skipping out on content because of missing work. • Students receive weekly grades instead of grades for each piece of work they complete. • Students direct their own learning…including taking “educational tangents” into areas of interest within each unit of study. • Students are not allowed to move on to the next unit of study until they demonstrate mastery of the current unit via some form of assessment.

  7. Matery pros/cons • Pros • High retention rates • Higher test performance • Higher student course evaluations • Higher student confidence • Cons • Heavy teacher workload • Administrative difficulties tracking student progress • Varying teacher freedom of instruction

  8. My Perspective • I teach Inner City • Low Scio-Economic (Title I School) • Enrollment 1398 • Math Common Core • Coordinate Algebra • Coordinate Algebra Support • Accelerated Coordinate Algebra/Geometry • Accelerated Math 2 • Inclusion Classes • Isolation

  9. Goals • For students to watch instructional videos for homework • Allow class time to work on real-world application problems, projects, hands-on • Allow More Teacher to Student and Student to Student Interaction • Students will work on problems until they master • Standard Post-Assessments given at the end of each lesson.

  10. Goals • No Late Work • No Make-up Work • No Gap In Learning When Teacher is Out • Students Responsible for Their Own Learning • Reduce Failure Rate • Allow Differentiation for All Students (mini lectures) • Special Education • Gifted • Advanced Student to Move to Accelerated

  11. Concerns • School Electronic Policy • Students without Internet

  12. Grading Practice • Classwork/Homework 20% • Enrichment Activities 20% • Standards Assessment 60%

  13. Getting Started • What you need: • Writing Tablet • Recording Software • Camtasia ($179 for educators – 30 day Free Trial) • ScreenFlow (Mac Only - $99 30 Day Free Trial) • CamStudio (PC Only Free) • Jing (Free) • Screen-O-Matic (Free 15 minute Videos -$15 year for unlimited and editing) • Screen Flow ScribbleScreen (Free Mac and PC) • Microphone • Webcam

  14. Distributing Content to Students • Edmodo (no space limit) • YouTube (Initial time 15 minute limit) • Screencast.com (2GB storage) • Vimeo (500MB/week) • Google Site • Moodle • Wikispaces/Blogs

  15. Making Videos • Make PowerPoint • Upload to Active Inspire • Record • Upload on Edmodo • Most Lessons about 20 minutes

  16. Concerns Addressed • School Electronic Policy • Administration Allowed B.Y.O.T • Students without Internet • Burn CD’s or DVD’s

  17. Regroup • Flipped Classroom is Easy • Mastery is Complicated

  18. Reality Regular Classes/Inclusion Classes • Students not doing the work • No concept of time management • Not working for understanding • Moving to Slow • A/B Block • Still Teacher Directed • Not Showing Mastery

  19. Reality • Accelerated Classes • Working Great • All students performing well • More advanced – give more enrichment activities

  20. Regroup – Changes for Next Semester • Follow Along Note Packet (Beginning of each Unit) Lecture notes, Worksheets, References • Assignment vs. Objective based grading • Prove they know it • Student Defined • Focus on Formative assessment for grading

  21. Evidence of Learning • One-on-one discussion • Intentional, directed questioning • Group work/Peer tutoring • Instant Feedback • Moodle something that builds a test bank

  22. Different Ideas on Mastery Grading • Set Grade Levels • A = Pass Unit 5 Exam (85% or better) • B = Unit 5 Podcast 5.3 • C = Pass Unit 4 Exam (85% or better) • F = anything than less than above.

  23. Unit Objectives

  24. Lesson Rubric • http://www.pr2ta.com/content/academic-program/graduation-requirements/

  25. Where to go from here • Start with Flipping or Mastery • Next implement the other • Research and adapt to your personality • Get out and observe
