=Kelly Inzinga - Business= __**Final Assignment**__ Stakeholder Plan - I have created a letter to go home to parents to explain Flipped Learning and how I am going to use it in my classroom (and what the benefits are of using Flipped learning in my classroom). I will be sening this letter home the first full week of school for parents to read. I am also asking parents to watch the first video with their son/daughter so they can really understand what Flipped Learning is all about. At the bottom of the parent letter is a sheet I am asking parents to fill out stating that they have read the letter and if they have any questions to send the sheet back in (see attached).

For my **first** assignment, I am going to have my students watch a video introducing our Time Management Project. They are to follow through the video with the project outline sheet. At the end of the video, they are to complete the "TM Project Flipped Learning Ticket INTO the Classroom" worksheet (attached) and bring this into class the following day. This will be their evidence that they watched the video. The next class day I will take any questions the might have had about the project and then they will get started right away working on the project.

For my **second** assignment, the students are going to watch a video introducing their notes for the Lifestyles Unit. They are going to receive a guided note sheet for the Lifestyle Notes and they will receive a Lifestyles Reflection sheet to complete after a portion of the notes (attached). Their "Ticket INTO the Classroom" will be the completed notes sheet (front and back) and their Lifestyles Flipped Learning Ticket Into the Classroom Reflection sheet.

For my **third** assignment, I am going to teach Flipped Learning to my Introduction to Teaching students. I am going to have students read Chapter 2 & 3 of __Flip Your Classroom__ by Bergmann and Sams at the end of the class. As a homework assignment, I am going to have them watch two videos (Flipped learning video drawing (3 mins) – What is it…why do Flipped Learning, [] AND Introduction to Flipped Learning (teacher 9 mins) – Teacher’s explanation of her Flipped Classroom, []. As their assignment to see if they really watched the videos, I am going to have them take notes on them (I will provide the sheet, attached). The next day, when students come into class, I am going to check their notes and show them a short video as a refresher to show how another teacher used Flipped Learning in his class (Teaching for Tomorrow – Flipped Learning where teacher walks through why he is using it (3 mins), [] and then I will show them a Prezi I created (explaining Flipped Learning, the Traditional Classroom vs. Flipped Classroom, Why Should Teachers Flip (discussion), Who are the Stakeholders, How Could They Use It in their Classrooms, Pros/Cons of Flipped, Challenges They Might Face). At the end of the lesson/discussion, they are going to create their own flipped lesson for their classroom. This piece will also serve as part of their portfolio (end of the year project/final).

__**Assignment 3 -**__ 1. What is flipped instruction in your own words? It is taking instruction that could occur in the classroom and putting it ouside the classroom for students to learn the material taught on their own. It then allow them the ability to think about and process what was taught to them so they could be more successful inside the classroom taking what they learned (outside the classroom) and applying it.

2. How does flipped instruction address your stakeholders key concerns? I feel that my stakeholders (students and parents) are most worried about the student's success. I feel that flipped learning can help students be successful by learning a topic and then having the time to process that learning and to formulate questions that can take their learning to the next level.

3. Why is flipped instruction beneficial for 21st century learners? I know that for my SpEd kids (or students that might have difficulty learning), it allows them the ability to rewatch what was taught so they might be able to get it. It can also serve as a great review for a test, quiz, or final examination...this is good for any student that needs to rewatch what we are doing and how to do it. The flipped piece might also a great tool for students to use if they are absent from class.

4. How does it build upon our previous understanding of best practices, CCSS, IB curriculum? I think the ability to learn something outside of class and take it to the next level or apply it to something new really hits the idea of IB and the Common Core. Afterall, isn't it about enhancing learning and allowing the student to be the center of their own learning?

5. What aspects of your instruction will you concentrate on flipping first? Time Management Project in CFM. I always take a lot of time introducing this project. Some students are ready to go right away while others need it reinforced multiple times. Having this available for them online allows them to go over it again. It also serves as a review to make sure they did everything.

6. Why is this aspect of your instruction well suited to a flipped model? See above statement.

7. What data will you be collecting on which to assess effectiveness of your flip? Student feedback to see if it worked (Ticket in the Door). Also, I will be able to assess this through observation of student work during class and seeing if they ask as many questions as I have had in the past.

8. By which methods will you be collecting this data? Project scores, observation, and classwork.

1. Flipping helps Struggling Students - I like this piece because I truly believe that this type of teaching style can really help students who might struggle with topics they are learning. This relates completely to my second piece...2. Flipping Allows Students to Pause & Rewind Their Teacher. If a student is strugging, they can listen/watch the tacher as much as they need to try to learn the topic. They can also rewind the teacher if they missed something that might be important. Furthermore, they can also use the flipped material to review as well. The piece I like most about flipping is that it allows the student to learn the material at their own pace and allows them to be in charge of their own learning. Then students can come to class with questions (showing they understand the material) and take their learning to a whole different level!
 * Assignment 2 -**
 * 1) 2 -Chapters 2-3 Bergmann & Sams


 * 1) 3 - See Resources Page - 8 Crucial Tools for Flipping (labeled KI)


 * 4, Part 1 -Nothing to change. I still feel strongly about who I chose as stakeholders.


 * 4, Part 2 - I feel that Flipped Classrooms asserss concerns of traditional classrooms because it puts the learning onto the student. They get to control what they learn and how they learn. If they want to chunk the material into smaller pieces, they can. If they need to pause or rewind, they can. It can truly help students understand more. I like the idea of having them watch a video of what I will be teaching or what they will be learning and then coming into class with questions. This is where I think the real learning can happen!! So many times, students can gain more out of discussion!


 * 4, Part 3 - Challenges to occur...I feel that some of my "sluggish" learners may not do the "homework" part of it. I think that a couple of times of them not learning the material, and feeling out of the loop, will get them back on track. It is like anything else...you need to explain the expectation, model it, and show them that there are consequences to their actions. I plan to deal with this by telling students to view the video they did not do for homework during class on their own and then they will lose in the discussion part of class. Unfortunately, material will be missed during that time. Not that I will "ignore" them, but they need to be held accountable for the work. If this means that I have to devise some type of grading piece for it, I will do so.
