Does this resemble your classroom on some days?

Or this . . . ?

Do you have similar questions?

• Do I care more about my students success than
  they do?
• Is anyone hearing me out there?
• There must be a better way?!
• How can I get my students to actually DO their
  homework?
• How can I get my students to not just do
  their homework, but actually understand it?
• Im tired of spoonfeeding my students, how do
  I get them to take ownership of their own
  learning?

If you sometimes question the process of teaching
- the pedagogy - within your own classroom and
the fact that your classroom doesnt really look
that much different than a classroom in the
1880s, then maybe you are open to flipping

Ultimate GoalFlipping for Mastery
Mastery Learning enables students to take
responsibility for their own learning. Mastery
Learning allows students to work at their own
pace through the curriculum. Students conduct
experiments, watch vodcasts, work on assignments,
interact with the class learning management site,
have one-on-one discussions with their teacher,
and get tutored by their peers and cadet
teachers. When they complete a unit they must
demonstrate that they have learned the content by
taking an exit assessment that includes both a
project and an exam. If students score less than
85 on these exit assessments, they must go back
and re-learn those concepts they missed and
retake the exam. Grades are now determined by how
much content they have mastered.

I consider myself a pretty good lecturer. I use
Keynote, clickers, and lots of CFUs. But I look
around the room during my lecture and cant help
but think that there must be a better use of our
time in class together.
Most students dont need us there by their side
when they are taking notes. They need someone to
help them with the application.
Let me give you what I call The Perfect Storm
for flipping the classroom.

Before, while I did my homework, I would be
eating dinner, watching TV, texting my friends,
and my family would be talking to me. Now, Im
just watching a video and taking notes. I cant
do anything else and so it makes me focus
more.Dana - 11th grade Precalc student
