• Here is where you will find information on the Flip Classroom Method.

    What is Flipped Classroom? 

    A Flipped Classroom is when the academic instruction is delivered online, outside the classroom. This will allow students to be more engaged and received additional time in class from the teacher. The students will be responsible for watching the videos prior to class. They will also be responsible for bringing all materials to and from home. The goal is for students to have the following week's videos uploaded by Friday afternoon. Students are free to watch them at any time, as long as they are prepared for the lesson. We will be using this method for math.

    Expectations: 

    Homework: For homework, students are to watch the videos for the lesson that we will be completing in class the following day. (These videos can be found on my website - Conley Elementary home page - Faculty and staff (5th grade) - Courtney Camper - classwork) The video will be under the date we will be going over the lesson. Students simply click on the lesson and a video will appear. Students are to use their math notebooks and follow along with the video, completing every part that I complete. As soon as I have gone over instructions, students are to complete the 2 -3 question task I have asked them to try on their own. I ask that students complete only what I have asked them to complete in the video.

     

    In class: When students come to class, they will already have the background knowledge for the lesson. We begin by going over the 2-3 questions I had them complete the evening before. Once we have gone over those questions and questions the students have, I then go over a couple more examples to help with mastery. Sometimes, going over additional questions will be a whole group or small group depending on the class's needs. Students then complete the rest of the questions on their own. 

     

    Accountability: When students return to the classroom the following day after watching the video, I will check their notebooks for the video notes and task. You will see if this was completed as a check mark in their Focus assignment list. It is not for a grade; however, it will benefit them when it comes to their assessments and overall academic growth this year. 

     

    Benefits: 

    The benefit of this method is that students can pause the lesson and review it as many times as needed. The lessons are always available for them, and they are there to help. This method also provides us with more time in class to practice these standards and skills instead of sending them home with work they may not understand. I am able to help work with students more, and they are able to practice more with my help.
