P.O.D. Topics

Grit and Resilience Flipped Classroom Close Reading (CCLS)

IT’S ALL THE RAGE THESE DAYS…

You have probably heard colleagues talk about the concept or you may have read articles about the instructional method of “flipping your classroom.” Educators have espoused advantages ranging from increased student motivation and personal responsibility on the part of their students to additional class time for projects they haven’t attempted in years. Will it work for my subject area? Is it effective every time? How difficult is implementation? This POD provides an overview of the purpose, process, and potential outcomes of the Flipped Classroom.

P.O.D. Flipped Out!

WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH…YOU KNOW YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRAIL…We have established a culture that values success without struggle. How many of us really achieve this in any area of our lives? Choose the images you prefer: It’s like pushing through the physical pain of exercise to achieve the benefit from stressing your body systems or climbing a mountain for the benefit of the view at the top. How do we establish a new culture that says, “struggle is ok; perhaps it’s desirable?” Without struggle, how do we truly grow academically or otherwise? What are the words / strategies that allow students to get stuck – how can we coach them through to success?

P.O.D. True Grit!

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL…WITH THE TEXTS THAT MATTER…

We hear regularly now about the topic of “close reading” but many still have questions about what this technique does to enhance student learning and how it is implemented in classrooms across all disciplines. If you have wondered about ways to effectively help students make connections to prior learning, interact in meaningful ways with authentic texts, and how to implement this Common Core strategy, take a closer look at this POD.

STAFF RESPONSES

When the students take time to re-

read the passage and attempt to

highlight or circle facts they are

increasing their awareness of the

content.

STAFF RESPONSES

I enjoy taking online

courses because it

eliminates the time

tables that are

normally put upon you

in regular classroom

environments.

STAFF RESPONSES

The ability to

choose different

articles and

videos made

this easy.

STAFF RESPONSES

Today's on-line learning

experience allowed us to

have a choice in topics and

work at our own pace.

STAFF RESPONSES

Sometimes we are the

problem because we

most likely have the

answer and are too

willing to just give it

to save time.

STAFF RESPONSES

[…i]t was useful to have some control

over the content that I explored.

Having different articles and videos to

view allowed me to focus my own

learning to maximize the efficiency of

my time. I was also able to use the

Internet in order to pursue certain

topics and other articles that came up

during my close reading.
