Action Steps(s): | Person(s) Responsible: | Timeline: Start/End | Needed Resources | Evaluation |
Research and evaluate information on flipped classrooms at the elementary level | Debbie Wolff | Present 07/12- 08/20/12 Currently am researching various information on flipped classrooms, created pinterest board and joined “flipped classroom Network” | Created a pinterest board for flipped classrooms: Brianbennett.org Edudemic.org Edweek.com Knewton.com Flippedclassroom.org Flippedclassroom.com Youtube.com | Learn about the flipped classroom model; apply information to an elementary classroom. Watch various flipped recordings on different topics to gain an understanding about utilizing a flipped classroom. |
Decide which days and lessons will be flipped lessons. I am planning to flip the lesson, not the entire class due to the elementary age and level of engagement. Record actual lesson via flip camera or webcam | Debbie Wolff | 8/30/12-6/5/2013 | Brianbennett.org Edudemic.org Edweek.com Knewton.com Flippedclassroom.org Flippedclassroom.com Youtube.com Flip camera Web cam | Talk to other 3rd grade teachers, I want to introduce a topic using the flipped model. Have students and parents share their feedback on my website. |
Choose 4 students at random from my math flipped classroom and 4 students from another 3rd grade general ed classroom. Assess their knowledge and understanding in a particular math topic. I want to compare and contrast their strengths and weaknesses. | Debbie Wolff | 10/15/2012-1/15/2013 | Irving ISD teks check and other formal district assessments, which will be documented at a later time. | Analyze overall scores for specific content, which was flipped and also compare similar content, which was taught as teacher led whole group. |
Survey students in my flipped math classroom, on the following: Has watching a video before class helped them understand a math topic? Do they typically watch the video at home or at school? Would they prefer to work as a class to learn the lesson or on the computer? | Debbie Wolff | 11/14/2012-3/15/2013 | Survey monkey | Analyze data and compare to student testing data to rate effectiveness |

You have some good questions in place and a good idea of where to go with this. I, personally, would wonder about the data from comparing 5 kids from your class under flipped vs 5 kids from another teacher under standard. Since the teachers are different, the data's not really comparative. But, it's the same curriculum, so, I don't know. I'm not an expert.
The other thing I noticed is your dates end in November. I had a plan that I wanted to end in December and I was told by Dr. Abshire that it wasn't long enough because our course 7 is supposed to be the midway point, and we can't write a midway point analysis if we're already done... I don't know. It's something you might want to make sure of. Good luck! I love flipped and would love to see how this works out in an elementary class since I'm more used to secondary.
Thanks for the comment! Also, I appreciate the info on the date. I will change that! I didn't think about the data and how it could be different. I will talk to my principal and see what she wants to do! Thanks again!
I love the plan but honestly have never heard of flipped classroom??
Debbie, I really enjoyed reading your plan! I have never heard of a flipped classroom and I am excited to read your results. I think you are ready to jump in and get started. Im not sure that finishing your project swiftly will be a problem, but it's always a good idea to check just to be sure. Good luck!
