Joy!!! I’m learning how to improve a flipped class through differentiated instruction. From my earlier blog, I mentioned that students watch the instruction at home on Youtube. Once the video is watched (or not), students come into class and get a choice of how to proceed. Those who feel they understand the topic can move on to practice problems. Those who wish to view the lesson again (or for the first time) can do so on their own devices or the dedicated computer provided by the teacher. Those who need a mini-lesson work with the teacher at the board (Smart or chalk). Additionally, students are encouraged to collaborate and assist one another. After the mini-lesson, the teacher is available to help on an individual basis. I love that the students have the choice of how to do their work. Holy Differentiation, Batman!
Hi there, I love that you are sharing this. I will be back in the classroom next year and likely have some math courses. I will be very interested in integrating this approach into so many others I have rushing through my mind :) Was there any indication on how this played out in student achievement? attendance? Or, was it too early to tell? Thanks for sharing! :)
