We’re “Flipping”For Common Core

Robyn Poulsen & Tammy CaseyT3 Regional InstructorsLake Placid High School

"If you are teaching today the same way

you were teaching 10 years ago,

you're guilty of educational

malpractice."

Why We Flipped

O Increase student contact time.

OEasier to differentiate instruction.

ONeed time for interractive activities in

class.

OCollege Readiness

Part IThe

Student’s Experience

AT HOME:

Students log in to Math XL

watch video lesson

answer related questions

IN CLASS:

Students log in to TI nSpire Navigator SystemComplete “First Five Five” (Warm Up)Work:Basic Skills practice Relevant Activity/Applications/Problem SolvingFormative Assessments Throughout

Part IIThe

Teacher’s Experience

We make all of our own

videos

O via Camtasia Studio Software

http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.html

THE VIDEOS

How do I get my

students to

actually watch the

videos?

via

MATH XL

What if my

students don’t have

internet access at home?

O During Study Halls, part of Lunch, Before/After School:

O Students can use computer in my room, in the library media center, in one of two computer labs.

O Can burn DVDs upon request.

O Most, if not all, students have some sort of phone that will allow them to watch videos.

IN CLASS WORK

Worksheets that are “leveled” for Differentiated Instruction

“MUST – SHOULD – COULD”

I create all of these Modified from former homework

worksheetsOur students do not have textbooks

IN CLASS WORKTime for Hands-On / Interractive / Meaningful Activities from sources like:

* education.ti.com* math counts* Dan Meyer 3-Acts* Odyssey of the Mind

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS

The TI nSpire Navigator System allows me to constantly assess how my students are doing in class

*Screen Capture *Live Presenter*Quick Polls*Pre-prepared Self-Check

documents*Pre-prepared Study Card

documents

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS

Math XL allows me to check how my students did on homework BEFORE they enter class.

• If many students have struggled on the same question, I immediately adjust my lesson plan to address the problem & reteach as needed.

• If only one or two students have struggled, I sit with them individually during that class time to help them learn the material.

Still INTERESTED in FLIPPING?

My advice:

OStart the year off right!
