Do your teachers ever feel like they just get their ducks in a row and are then completely blown off their feet? Fire Drills, Tornado Drills, Assemblies…All kinds of issues can cause a disruption to instruction and make your teachers feel like “Ducks in the Wind!” Let’s help these teachers keep their ducks in a row by assisting them in creating their own flipped classroom. We will begin with what the flipped classroom is not.
The Flipped Classroom Is Not:
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The flipped classroom is not a synonym for online videos. Nor is it intended to replace the teacher with these videos. This is the common misconception many have when they hear the term “Flipped Classroom.” While videos do play a part, it is the meaningful learning activities and the intentional interaction that takes place between students and the teacher that occur during the face-to-face meeting time that should take the forefront.

Presentation Notes
The Flipped Classroom is not an online course. While there may be some online components, it is the instruction and meaningful activities that drive this blended learning environment.

Presentation Notes
The Flipped Classroom is not students working without structure. Students are not turned loose to take charge of themselves at all times. They are not to be turned loose to run around like chickens with their heads cut off!

Presentation Notes
The Flipped Classroom is not students spending their entire class time staring at a computer screen and working in isolation.

The Flipped Classroom: What It Is:
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The Flipped Classroom gives the teacher an opportunity to increase interaction and personalize this interaction with all students. Students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning and it removes the teacher from the traditional role of “sage on the stage” and transitions him/her to the “guide on the side”.
The Flipped Classroom: What It Is:
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The Flipped Classroom is a combination of direct instruction with constructive learning activities and where students are engaged in the learning that is taking place.

The Flipped Classroom: What It Is:
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The Flipped Classroom allows for content to be permanently archived. Students who miss school for varied reasons have access to the content their classmates received. Students can also access this content for review or remediation as often as they want or as often as needed to grasp the concept being taught.
The Flipped Classroom: What It Is:
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The Flipped Classroom offers an environment where all students, regardless of their unique needs, personalities, and learning styles can receive an individualized education. For students needing more one-to-one help for remedial purposes, this environment allows more class time to be used to meet with these students. For students who are in need of a challenge, the Flipped Classroom offers the teacher the opportunity to extend assignments. Differentiated instruction is more easily met through this philosophy of teaching.

What Can the ESC Do?
Presenter
Presentation Notes
We must help teachers, administrators, and students navigate this path. We must be involved from the beginning will a well planned route in order to get students where they should be.
What Can the ESC Do?
Presenter
Presentation Notes
We must serve as the lighthouse for these schools. We must be the beacon that guides them through this rocky challenge. We all know how difficult technology can be, and we all know how frustrating it can be when it doesn’t work in the classroom. There are no “extra” days of instruction built in for these teachers. Every day matters. This is where the planning begins.
First Steps
Presenter
Presentation Notes
There must be a plan. Heading into this endeavor without a plan is like handing a baby a “How-To” guide and hoping for the best! You’re going to get nothing but crying and drooling!
Lay the Foundation
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Understand what goals the teachers want to achieve for their students. The best way to fail is to have a faltering foundation.

Presentation Notes
Because so much technology is going to be utilized and teachers, administrators and students are entering uncharted territory, ESCs must be prepared to weather the storms with districts. Listen and be on the offensive. Stay ahead of issues that are known to arise, and be sure to stay in constant contact with those involved. This is the part of the process where creating those relationships will pay off.

Presentation Notes
Once everyone gets in a routine, prepare yourselves to be amazed at the “thank-yous” you will receive. You truly make an impact when you can find ways to help teachers be better at their profession, not to mention find ways to make things run more efficiently!
