My Flipped Classroom Progress... Week 5 EDLD 5326

In regards to my action research project, I am underway with my plan. My project was going to be to implement a flipped math classroom two times per week. Since my teaching assignment changed, I am now implementing one lesson per week in my reading and language arts classroom. I sorted through different assessments and decided to use Istation to assess the students. Istation will give a summary by skill and by student. It is broken down into fluency, phonemic awareness, spelling, and comprehension. I have given the initial assessments, and now I am collecting the data on my students. Currently, I am in the process of sorting through the data, and analyzing what the student’s strengths and weakness are. I feel I am on track and in a good place on the research project. I have created three reading lessons so far, where I am teaching metacognition strategies. I have spent a lot of time working with other teachers on my grade level team to seek input, and have asked them assess my lessons, and give suggestions for improvement.  My goal is for the students to watch the first lesson by the end of October. I will then compare assessment data of students who received the lesson in the classroom, rather than at home. I plan to do this throughout the year, so I can measure the success of a flipped classroom.  So far, I have completed about 35-40 hours on implementing this project. This includes, preparing the assessments, giving the assessments, collecting and analyzing data, and creating the lessons.
