Flipped learning is a different dynamic than regular classroom learning. In flipped learning, the teacher records a lesson outside of class, and the students watch the lesson at home on their own. The teacher can include slides, quizzes, and activities during the lesson to increase student learning and engagement. Then, the students bring their homework or at-home practice to class, where they will go over the lesson concepts with the teacher. Class time is used to build on what was learned outside of class, and the teacher is there to help and support the students. The focus shifts from the teacher to the students, and it is a more independent way of learning. |
How to Create a Flipped Lesson
How I created a flipped lesson: When creating a flipped lesson plan, it is helpful to start by creating a lesson plan. This gives you a visual of what your lesson will look like before you begin recording. I used Google Slides to begin presenting the material for my lesson plan. This also gives me a visual for students to look at while I talk. After I discuss the material I can switch tabs over to my Lumio presentation. This provides access to independent practice and extra resources for students to practice on their own. By attaching a Google form at the end I can asses the student's interaction and comprehension.
How Does it Relate to the Danielson Framework for Teaching?
Using a flipped lesson allows teachers to use all of their resources effectively, as explained in Domain One: Planning and Preparation. This creates a tone of flexibility for teachers, showing their willingness to effectively use instructional materials to meet the individual needs of students and enhance their engagement. Flipped lessons can exemplify how learning spaces are designed specifically to support the students. Student input can be applied to create a sense of shared ownership over the learning space by using screenpal and other interactive resources. Flipped learning allows students to feel like they are involved in a organized learning space as considered in Domain Two: Learning Environments. Domain 3: Learning Experiences reflects on how a teacher can best accommodate a students learning needs in order for them to succeed. Allowing students to work through the given material at their own pace speaks to being flexible when it comes to the needs of students. By submitting lessons through online sources such as Google Classroom you are also allowing parent involvement. When it comes to principled teaching, this is important for engaging families as reflected on in Domain 4: Principled teaching.
