In the world of education, the curriculum is ever changing. The new curriculum that is being talked about is that of Flipping the Classroom. Flipping the classroom curriculum is reversing the curriculum, the students do homework at school and the school work at home (Cohen & Brugar, 2013). The way this curriculum works is the teacher will make short video clips for the students to watch at home or when ever they are working on their school work. This video can consequently help those who have been out sick, so they are not so far behind. The premise of this concept is that supposed to make the school work easier. The student will watch the videos and do the work if questions arise then they can ask them in class the next day when they are …show more content…
The material that associated with this flip posted on YouTube so that the students can watch it over and over. Johnstone (2013), the YouTube videos that he is posting are getting any where from 100-170 visits per video. This tells him that their students and or parents are watching more than once (Graham & Walker). Massey, (213), works with military students and finds that it is easier if the students have the videos so that their parents can help from overseas or a deployment. There are a few problems associated with the Standard Inverted classroom, one being time management, and the lack of technology for the low income personal (Graham & Walker). The next flipped curriculum, is discussion-oriented accourdingly it uses some of the same techniquesa as the Standard inverted classroom does but this flip is more associated with thinking classes; history, art, or English. The next one is demonstration-focused, this flip is for those subjects that need the repetive activities, chemistry, physics and just about all math classes. The gaux-flipped classroom is used in classed where as homework might not be a huge idea just yet. The students would engage the videos in class consequently as the teacher goes one on one with studnets. The group based is new to the flipping curriculum in that it uses group study so that the students can learn from one another. This curriculum is good to use in the idea is leaning through peer taugh instruction. A student might get something easier if another student explained it in their jargon. The virtual flipped classroom is one that is not as common
In the article Should Colleges Really Eliminate the College Lecture? by Christine Gross-Loh, Loh discusses the relevance of traditional college lectures and how it could become obsolete in the near future. She explains how a “flipped classroom” could be more beneficial in terms of academics and show improvements in students learning abilities.
During lessons, videos give students the sense that he/ she is watching TV and most of the times videos provide great animation information on topics that strikes students
Today’s classrooms are designed after a few key theories. One of which is behaviorism. Behaviorism is the idea that we can control others through intervention as a higher order of animals. One of the guiding principles of behaviorism is scheduling, which helps initiate behaviorism strategies of learning. One of those strategies is contracting in which a teacher and a student negotiate to create a desirable outcome. Another is a token economy which uses contracting and scheduling to produce systematic results. In addition, prompting is the idea that a student will know what to do if a certain activity occurs. Modeling is simply the idea that your behavior will determine that of your students. Finally, Rote learning is the concept of use it
Every video I watched displayed tools that I could use in my own classroom. The instructional strategies and models used in the classrooms were great. My current teaching philosophy about instructional strategies and models would be that they are great to use. As a teacher, looking for ways to help teach certain lessons is a must. Every teacher found different ways to teach the materials to their students. It is always great to have resources in the classroom to look back on. Students love to have resources to guide them. In the video (Case #1112), I would emulate their strategy by letting my students use a textbook. I feel that textbooks are reliable sources and can be used to validate certain materials. In the video, you can tell that the students were using the textbook as a tool to prove their discussion with each other. In the video (Case #876), I would avoid assessing my students in whole-group discussion. I would have my student in groups to see how they communicate with each t=other about our discussion. Seeing my students evaluating each other’s opinions would be a great way into assessing their knowledge about the lesson. A classroom environment I would like to teach in would be with students who are ready to ask questions. Students who are not afraid to express their thoughts about the instruction. It would be easier for me to assess my students if that were
The deep learning goals that I would establish as my crucial 4Cs would be communication, critical thinking, and problem solving, collaboration, and creativity and imagination. I find these 4Cs very beneficial because they are skills that all students will need to demonstrate in the real world. I believe it is a great idea to implement these 4Cs in high school because they are part of the 21st century learning skills. Every work environment will have these 4Cs implemented so if students master these skills in high school, their chances to get a job and do it well is very likely.
According to the Flipped Network, “Flipped Learning is a pedagogical approach in which instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual learning space, and the resulting group space is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment where the educator guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter”(FLN, 2014). The Flipped Classroom is also known as inverting the classroom, which means that the events that usually take place in this defined by classroom will now take place outside the classroom and vise versa. Teachers can have students use the plethora of technologies to assist the students by having access to lectures, video presentations, and other materials
Students know and appreciate that no two students are alike. I have a range of students in my class and I know they all learn differently in terms of their reading level, their pace and how long it takes for them to retain information. When I was creating this lesson I thought about the learn styles of many of the students. Some students preferred to read while others prefer to watch the video.
Our society today seems to be very focused on finding true happiness, just look at the number of self-help books on the market. While this desire for happiness may seem more idealized than ever, people have been focused on achieving the good life since the beginning of mankind. For me, the good life is one where I feel inner peace, and am connected with the people around me. Saint Anselm’s Proslogion, Never Let Me Go, The Desert Fathers, and The Consolation of Philosophy have all shown me that to achieve my good life and truly be happy, I must spend time away from my stressful environment and practice self-reflection so I can focus on what values are most important to me, and elicit a positive change in myself and others.

In Heath, Ohio there is a school, which the writer spent most of her life in, named Licking County Christian Academy, and in this paper the school's name will be condensed to LCCA. LCCA, being a private school had at least two hundred students and about twenty teachers including the writer’s mother, but within the past five years, the number of students decreased until LCCA could not afford to pay all of the teachers. Two years ago, half of the teachers we're dismissed and a new type of schooling, that was much like e-learning, was introduced, video schooling. Instead of a teacher serving the handcrafted material to students who each have a different mindset so that they can understand, the students now must decipher the knowledge themselves in coherence with the videos. Though some students are able to process the information swiftly, others may be overwhelmed with the amount of information shown and the short time to
The flipped classroom is founded on four precepts (Hamdan, McKnight, McKnight and Arfstrom, 2013). The first is that it requires a flexible environment populated with a wide range of learning modes. This will often require a reorientation of the physical space in order to facilitate these different learning modes. The learning environment may become more ‘chaotic and noisy’ (Hamdan, McKnight, McKnight and Arfstrom, 2013, p. 5). The process of assessment and timelines for learning needs to be flexible (Hamdan, McKnight, McKnight and Arfstrom, 2013). Assessment instruments may need to be ...
Readers can learn many things from the characters in their stories. It is essential that we teach students how to pay attention to the characters in their stories so that they may better understand what they are reading and develop a deeper understanding of text.
The 1950s was a time of divide between people. A time of segregation. Segregation is the action or state of setting someone or something apart from other people or things. Segregation could no longer exist, but it does. It exists in the workplace, neighborhoods, and especially in schools. Kids who have problems with behavior are usually sent to alternative schools and separated from the kids at the regular school. This is not necessarily a negative. The awful part is how the alternative schools receive the leftovers and are forgotten, but we can change this.
Performance Activity 1: Discuss with cooperating teacher his/her role in the school, professional background and educational experience. Ask about the big picture plan of topics for the semester and if possible obtain needed textbooks, curriculum guide, etc. that will allow you to be prepared to assist in the students’ learning and success within the context of their social, economic, cultural, linguistic, and academic experiences. Add to the “Understanding the School Environment” document. This document and the discussion provide information about the school’s culture and diversity of students and staff.
For my observation experience I went to Southern High School in Harwood, MD. Southern High School has a special education department for the students with disabilities. The teacher that I met with for this classroom observation was Ms. West. In the classroom there were at least four assistant teachers that helped Ms. West throughout the school day. The assistant teachers helped Ms. West co- teach the class and were there to help the students if they needed extra help. The school also has a couple of student aides that come in to help the teachers and the students in the classroom. There were at least twelve students in the classroom. The students in the class had many different exceptionalities such as learning disabilities, Down syndrome,
It is trans missive, casts the student in a passive role, and can often be dull. On the other hand, it is relatively cheap and easy to provide, if well done it can be motivating, it gives the teacher an opportunity to establish his or her presence and personality, and it can summarize and articulate the key facts, principles and learning objectives. Good exposition requires ability at public performance combined with good subject knowledge, good preparation and often good supporting props. Exposition is easy to do badly: hard to do well. It is not essential that exposition is managed solely by the classroom teacher: online video delivered by e.g. the Khan Academy may provide a useful supplement to classroom exposition, especially as online video can be accessed anytime, anywhere and is likely to be of much higher quality than classroom exposition. That at least is the vision of the flipped
