Confused about how to incorporate the "Flip" in the age of Standards Based Grades while pushing towards Asynchronous Mastery Learning? How about making this all work with high-stakes testing or new standards in the elementary level? Sound too imposing? Come hear some ways it all of these seemly disparate ideas can come together and flourish.
I have taught upper elementary for 22 years, and I have employed the Flipped Class paradigm for the last two across the curriculum. In this session, I will share ideas strategies and resources that have worked well for me as well as encourage the asking of questions about how to integrate all of these parts into a cohesive whole (while retaining your sanity).5
Our presentation will start with a brief description of why we decided to collaborate to create a new pre-calculus class using the flip class model. We will take attendees on our journey through creating our new course. We will share our new class format which incorporates our modified version of problem based learning, higher level thinking skill projects, differentiated learning projects, discovery learning projects, and samples of student work. We will share a sample of our collaborative instructional videos, our anticipatory videos which provide opening questions that guide each unit, and short interviews with our students as they reflect on the flip class. We will discuss obstacles we have faced along with some unexpected observations. We will end with a short preview of our next collaborative project.
This presentation will present results of the presenter’s doctoral dissertation. This quantitative research compared 5 sections of college algebra using the flipped classroom methods with 6 sections of traditional (lecture/homework) college algebra and its effect on student achievement as measured through common assessments. The study included over 300 students and 9 instructors. Results showed that students in the
We will be sharing how Byron High School sought to improve the flipped classroom model and found Eric Mazur’s Peer Instruction model he developed as a physics professor at Harvard. The model uses peer discussion around conceptual questions that you feel your students struggle with. A question is posted and the students work on it independently. The students then compare and share in a peer instruction model to improve each others conceptual understanding. Some thought must go into the questions being given and such a library takes time to create. We will take you through the do’s and don’ts of how to create such a library and how to most effectively use it.
Learners come to us with a variety of learning styles. Some are primarily visual learners, others auditory, and others kinesthetic. Activities that include all the senses have been shown to be most effective for understanding and retention.
Much of the instruction in the flipped classroom model is visual and auditory, but only occasionally can it include kinesthetic activities outside of class. But the time remaining in class can be used for many activities, both individual, group, and whole class. Incorporating kinesthetic activities in class can reinforce and concretize concepts, teach skills, and build community.
In this session, we will look at linking in class kinesthetic activities to out of class lessons, using them to foster learning and fun, and explore ideas for creating activities related to your course content.
The Mathematics department at Ohio Dominican University (Columbus, OH) is pioneering a One-Room Schoolhouse (ORS) model for its upper level mathematics courses. The ORS setting utilizes the flipped classroom approach to allow a single instructor to conduct multiple courses in the same classroom at the same time. This allows a small liberal arts college to offer a great variety of specialized, low-enrollment courses on-demand, at no additional cost.
In this presentation we will take a look at the following aspects of ORS:
• Scheduling
• Physical space
• Technology requirements
• Instructional materials
• Classroom management
• Student reactions
• Scalability
We will use individual instructor and student experiences, registrar data, and results of anonymous surveys to support our findings.
Participants in this session will review specific strategies and resources to utilize Flipped Project Based Learning with learners at both the middle and high school levels. The two presenters will share their own experiences with things like: Reverse Engineering Cameras, Building Rube Goldberg Machines, Computer Programming with Scratch, designing Minute to Win It challenges, and drafting fantasy Ultimate Frisbee Teams. In addition, presenters will offer comments and ideas how to embed subject standards into instruction under the umbrella of Flipped PBL. Helpful websites will be provided to begin building your own collection of Flipped PBL resources.
In our interactive presentation, we will share the amazingly collaborative “full circle” results of our flipping initiative. Our team consists of pre-service mathematics education college students who experienced classroom flipping in their mathematics classes. The same students also learned how to use the Flipped Classroom Method in their teacher education classes; learning the instructor roll and how important it is to motivate students to accept responsibility for their learning. The awesomeness of the collaborative effort is the 360 degree initiative. The pre-service students transformed what they learned in their own college classes to their high school mathematics classes where they are the teachers. In addition to our results, we will provide attendees with examples of successful flipped resources used to enhance student engagement. The session will also include lessons learned. Participants will receive downloadable files for all resources presented including assessment resources that have been used during successful accreditation visits.
Bob Jones Academy conducted a pilot study this past school year in 8th grade Pre-Algebra class and in 9th grade World History and 9th grade Geography classes. The students were taught traditionally first semester and then “flipped” second semester. The Pre-Algebra class study had two control groups and two test groups to test the effects of the flipped model as well as students having provided devices (iPads). For the World History and Geography classes, the performance of previous classes formed the control data and this year’s students formed the test group. The effects on the students of the flipped model as well as a BYOD environment were evaluated. Standardized test as well as other achievement data along with quantitative and qualitative attitudinal data was collected from all the classes and will be presented along with the insights of the teachers involved.
