  2. FLIPPING MY WORLD A short story of a headlong rush into an entirely different approach to education.

  3. THE BIG PICTURE

  4. THE TENSION IN THE TEACH Maintaining rigor to prepare for a very difficult test Providing opportunity for “grade protection”

  5. THE PAYOFF THE INVESTMENT

  6. MY GRADE BREAK-DOWN

  7. A QUESTION OF TIME

  8. TIME PER VIDEO Goal is no more than 10 min per video Students prefer shorter clips – it’s a “mental” thing! Provide greater flexibility for curriculum changes

  9. TOTAL TIME PER 85 MINUTE BLOCK Hmmm…8:44 + 11:43 + 6:33…. 43 min and 20 sec SAY WHAT???

  10. RATIONALE • For a 5 day unit there are three days of working, one day of lab, and one day to assess. • 135 minutes of direct teach would likely be 270 minutes sitting in a college class. • For every 45 minutes of videos, students get 65-85 minutes of time in class to do learning opportunities WITH HELP! The big win: efficiency of learning

  11. EMBRACE YOUR LEARNING! Using objectives for self evaluation

  12. Objective charts (thanks Jen Gray!) Confident  Fuzzy I don’t know 

  13. Objective charts • Use to drive teaching • Use to design quizzes and tests • GOAL: Students will be using these daily to self-assess learning • Students use these for test corrections (more later!)

  14. Self-assessing learning YBCT • Webassign • Automatic feedback • Unlimited submissions with no penalty • Free Response/Inquiries • IF: Check using posted key & stamped THEN: 100 % • IF: Not checked & stamped THEN maximum 90 % • A Few Labs • IF: grade with rubric using key THEN: bonus 10% for learning and feedback • Otherwise I grade and won’t be able to return before test. • Working on integrating Nspire/Navigator activities.

  15. A word about cheating:

  16. A word about daily accountability:

  17. A Common Educational Myth: “There are no second chances”

  18. Quizzes • KEY: Students can retake for up to an 80. Considering a 90 next year or a mini-mastery approach of 100  90  80  70 • Most are multiple choice • Nspire/navigator or any e-response system should work • Testing new classroom management system, but concerned about cheating when on computers • Currently using test banks – not ideal but time time time!

  19. Tests • Students have option to do test corrections. • Test is weighted once, corrections weighted once. • (40 + 90)/2 = 65 which is recoverable • Multiple choice they fill out a form. • Free response they simply re-work or re-answer

  20. LATE GRADES • A bit controversial but…. • School policy is we must take work one day late for a maximum of a 60. • I believe there are hard deadlines and soft deadlines in the real world. • This year: -5 pts each calendar day late • Next year: thinking about increasing the penalty each day

  21. BONUS OUTCOME OF POLICIES • PARENT BUY-IN • ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT
