Part II: The Creation

Why Flip?

Flipping Your Classroom has definite advantages for your students.

 However, the 'real' advantages are to the teacher!

Why Flip?

#1.  Eliminate Parent QuestionsCreating videos or documents to explain projects or program features will help the parent to help your student at  home.

Why Flip?

#2.  Eliminate Re-TeachingCreating videos to explain the content will help the student who does not understand the material immediately.  Also, the videos will eliminate the need to re-teach content to absent students.

Why Flip?

#3.  Eliminate those annoying questions

Do you have little pieces of your content that your students should know and you are tired of re-teaching?

Why Flip?

#4.  Become the Teacher You've Always Wanted To Be

Many of us joined the teaching profession with the idea of working one-on-one with students, sharing our love for our content.  However, when we started teaching, we immediately found that this 'magical' world didn't exist.  Flip Teaching will help to create the world that you wanted with more one-on-one time.

Part II: The Creation

#1. Develop a Toolbox of Skills.#2. Draw up your plan. (Begin with the

end in mind.)#3. Create Homework Assignments That

Engage.#4. Create Support Materials To Reinforce

and extend.

need to be mastered.#3. Categorize each individual skill by

Blooms Taxonomy#4. Move the easy tasks to the homework

venue & create learning objects that help the students build knowledge.
