Teacher gets approval and administration buy-in
The teacher would have to write a formal plan and turn it in for approval by the school district. Notes on how to teach all styles of learners, accomodating IEPs, assessments for learning, scheduling, and all legistics would need to be included. -
Teacher Records Lesson Videos
After assessing the new common core standards and aligning the curriculum with student needs, scheduling and other events, I will record lessons onto my computer for upload when they are needed. -
First day of school
Teacher would do an inventory of students who have access to a computer at home with internet access. Teacher would also need parent buy-in, so a letter home introducting the concept of flipped learning would be sent. -
Introduce Flipped Learning
Teacher will talk about the format of homework and classwork. Explinations of where to find the lessons and how to respond to discussion questions to prove engagement. -
Practice Flipped Learning in Class
Teacher will scaffold learning to encompass the needs of all students. A trip to the computer lab will provide time to practice finding, watching and responding to a flipped learning lesson. -
First Homework Lesson
Students will go home with a short homework lesson on a friendly, introductory topic with an easy lesson. -
First Flipped Classroom DIscussion
Students will participate in a class discussion and interactive assignment that will be done in class today (the day after the homework) questions and concerns will be discussed about the process. -
A schedule will be made for bi-weekly Flipped Learning Lessons
Because the students are so young, I feel two flipped learning lessons a week will be enough for them to handle. One will be in Social Studies or Science and the other will always be math.
