I've been teaching math the last 5 years
0:03
and this is why I flipped my classroom.
0:06
This is what my classroom used to
look like.
0:13
I was teaching to the middle group
of the class,
0:16
the students they could follow along
with what we were doing
0:20
and we were going through the
content. While I got higher level students
0:24
not challenged, bored with
the information,
0:27
ready to move forward, I had a
struggling group students
0:30
that were not receiving enough
effective remediation.
0:33
They didn't have the basic content they
needed to be working on the content
0:37
we are currently covering
0:38
or they needed more help in order
to be successful.
0:42
This leads to a 90% use of class time
being spent on
0:47
delivery and review of content.
90% of the time I was
0:51
at the front of the classroom
0:51
lecturing to a group of students and
I wasn't meeting all their needs
0:55
10% class time was actually spent on
application
0:59
which led to depending on students
1:02
to do the application needed to be
successful and to go home or outside of
1:06
class and work on applying the concept
1:08
that I was giving out in class. This constant
battle of
1:12
not reaching the needs of all students
and feeling the need to differentiate
1:16
for all my learners
1:17
let the teacher, allows teachers to
feel overwhelmed
1:20
and ineffective because we see the
need for differentiation
1:23
but there's just not enough time
for effective
1:27
differentiation. This called for drastic
changes in how we teach.
1:35
This is where flipping the classroom comes
in. Now the students outside of
1:39
class preload the content.
1:41
They get the information they're
going to need for class. They can pause,
1:45
rewind, and rewatch the videos as
many times they need to.
1:49
They can post questions online to
their classmates or to the teacher.
1:53
And it's a self-paced program where they
can be mediated by going back and
1:57
reviewing former topics
1:58
or they can work ahead when they've
already mastered a concept
2:01
and are ready to look forward. They
get the content here
2:05
before class so that when they come
into class. My whole classroom
2:09
has shifted where I'm at the center
of the class working between these
2:13
differentiated groups
2:14
focused on different pieces of
application. I can now
2:19
work between each of these groups
that are moving at their own pace.
2:22
This has created a 90% use of class
time spent on
2:27
application of the content and 10%
of class time
2:31
is spent on delivery of content when
I can answer questions that have been
2:34
posted
2:35
or take any other questions
that come up from applying
2:39
the content. Now in my classroom
2:46
all students are engaged and
challenged.
2:50
I have time to work with each
group giving
2:53
individualized time and instruction
.2:56
And I can actually work between each
group
3:01
to provide effective differentiation
for all my varied groups of learners,
3:05
my struggling students, my middle
group of learners
3:08
and I can now extend and expand on
my higher level students' prior
3:14
knowledge and challenge them in
3:15
in the classroom.
