Flipped Learning

1. Flipped Learning Continuous Improvement – Wednesday, April 9th, 2014

2. What is Flipped Learning? Flipped learning is a pedagogical approach in which direct instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual learning space, and the resulting group space is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment where the educator guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter.

5. Why Should I Flip? • Research shows that “direct instruction through the traditional lecture/discussion is contrary to almost every principle of an optimal student learning setting” (Huba and Freed, 2000). Bottom Line: Lectures are becoming more and more ineffective (Engaging Millennials)

7. Why Should I Flip? • You have students that are not in class everyday: • Internships • Retreats • Spring Sports • Absentees

8. Why Should I Flip? • You want to employ research informed best practices but there is not enough time: • Flipped learning frees up class time so an instructor is able to use class-time for student-centered activities. • Provide Immediate Feedback – Research shows that when students are provided with immediate feedback, student achievement increases.

9. Why Should I Flip? • Feedback – when you are a coach on the side rather than a sage on the stage, there are more opportunities to spend one-on-one time with students (especially the ones that need it) and provide immediate feedback.

10. Why Should I Flip? • Student-Centered Instruction (Effectiveness of this approach goes back to the 1800s) • Student Engagement (Flipped Learning Speaks there Language) • Differentiation – true differentiation is possible • Teacher-Student Interaction increases

12. My Limited Experience • The following quotes are from a focus group that was made up of 8 students that were involved in my flipped learning experiment:

13. My Limited Experience “I am not sure if my test scores were better, but I did understand the material better.” -Allison Deininger

14. My Limited Experience? “I like how all of the information is presented all at once without any distractions.” -Miranda Olivo

15. My Limited Experience “I could pause and rewind as much as I wanted which helped me to get it.” -McKenzie Miavitz

16. My Limited Experience “The video out-takes made me laugh, it helped me to remember the material.” -Maria Lyttle

17. My Limited Experience “Can we do all of our chapters like this?” -Ethan Filippi

18. My Limited Experience “I watched all the videos again the night before I took the test…it really helped!” -Several Students

19. My Limited Experience • I love the Flip! • It has re-energized me as a teacher! • The blank stares and cell phone issues I believe will be things of the past once I fully implement the flip

20. How Do I Flip? • Flipping is more about what takes place in the classroom rather then the instruction that is provided on the video.
