Week 2 - Crafting a Strategy to Gain Stakeholder Buy-in - Due by 5/31/13
// Essential Learning Outcomes: Building a case for flipped instruction, crafting a strategy for stakeholder buy-in //

Warm Up:
Last week, we focused on the history of the paradigm used in American education, discussed some reasons why a change away from this paradigm is needed, and started to lay the ground work for a strategy that you can use to gain stakeholder buy-in for the flip. This week's work requires you to read and conduct some research, and then to report back to the group.

FlipClass Homework:

 * 1) Direct Instruction:
 * 2) None needed this week.


 * 1) Guided/ Independent Practice
 * 2) Read the chapter entitled "[[file:hiltonflips/OneWorlSchoolhouseKhan.pdf|Prussian Paradigm]]" from Khan's book The One World Schoolhouse.
 * 3) Collect evidence about the challenges inherent in using the Prussian paradigm in 2013 for inclusion in your plan to win stakeholder buy-in.
 * 4) Read **chapters 2-3** of the Bergmann & Sams book.
 * 5) Choose a passage from each chapter that you think will be useful to know and be able to explain while building a case for a flipped class. (two passages total) Post these passages here as a discussion, so others can benefit from your insights. Attempt to "add value" to our wiki rather than reiterating what others have said.
 * 6) Find and share an **additional source** that explains some aspect of flipped instruction.
 * 7) Link to it on our "Resources" page and add a brief explanation of what the source makes clear for your stakeholders.
 * 8) Begin **planning** how you will introduce the concept of a flipped classroom to each of your stakeholders. Respond to these questions on your personal page.
 * 9) During week 1, you identified your stakeholders and their common concerns. Reflect on last week's work: add or amend as needed now that you know more.
 * 10) How does a flipped class better address their concerns than a traditional class? Bergmann and Sams give 15 reasons on why you should flip your classroom in Chapter 3. You may want to focus on 2 or 3 that best address what you believe will work best with your student population. Of course you can add a different reason not mentioned in the book.
 * 11) What might be some challenges you will encounter? How do you plan to address them? If you can identify a challenge but not a solution (yet) post the challenge and seek help from the group. Feel free to use the "Crowd Source" (CS) page.
 * 12) Coming Next Week...
 * 13) Writing a plan to gain stakeholder buy-in for flipped instruction.
