Note of thanks for inviting us to present. Introduction of staff participating in thepresentation.


2/55

1,860 students. Geographically located 6 miles west of Rochester, MN. Approximately 200staff. Proximity to Rochester encourages many partnerships with STEM. Highly motivatedstaff that embraces change and how we need to transform education to meet the needs ofthe 21st/22nd century learners.


3/55

the first e-in Byron's classrooms transformation is e-Curriculum

What: textbook free curriculum, directly aligned with state standards and our dataWhy: perfect storm-no books, no money, want improvementChallenges: time, internet access, HW (Kuta), public opinion/educating parents-kids

Wins: data on growth (mixes with flipped though)


4/55

(smooth this out)2010-our turn to write curriculum, but no money, old books, desire to improve...beganbrainstorming solutions. Alg 1 and Geom had been an integrated curriculum which was notmeeting our needs...


5/55

Our solution: throw out our textbooks and write our own curriculum--a daunting task, butwhen you take into consideration that only 70% of any textbook addressed MN standards, itis much less so

7/55

In this process we were able to essentially create a living curriculum which could easily andquickly be adjusted to changes in student data and/or state standards.


8/55

(smooth this out) Combined our new curriculum with several key components...Challenges:Unblock Youtube,SMART for recording,Moodle for housing,

Kuta for HW, quizzes;


9/55

$$ savings-off the cycle, minimal cost (copies), minimal replacementCan change with standards changes, student needs/data


10/55

Accel Alg 2 Data--best comparison as the curriculum didn't change, just access to onlinematerials.

Once our work was underway with writing our curriculum, creating videos and creatingMoodle sites, an idea we had seen suddenly became a real potential...the flippedclassroom


13/55

It use to be that if you wanted to teach a larger group of people in an efficient

manner that you had to stand in front of all of them and lecture to them but

the whole dynamics of learning is changing with numerous videos on the

internet. Students are able to learn how and when they want verses being

locked into learning from only one person.


14/55

Education is a two step process. First, transfer of information.


15/55

Second, assimilation of information. We must make ourselves available as faculty

to help students with assimilation. After all, information is everywhere now.

Educators need to realize their role in the classroom is changing for the better,

from a source of information to a guide in how to use it.


16/55

We are all familiar with the traditional lecture where students are passively

sitting there while I am actively doing math on the SMARTBoard. Students

often think that they are understanding the material until they get home

where they try to do the homework problems. They often struggle and get

frustrated because they have no help or resources.

Also the internet is changing the way students are thinking and learning, so is

the traditional lecture the most effective way to help students learn? or ...


17/55

Where in the learning process to students most need me face-to-face?

Pause

From my experience, it is not lecture since they can access videos to learn

what I would say during my lecture. My students need me face-to-face

during practice, application, discussion and remediation.


18/55

This has lead us to the flipped classroom. The flipped classroom is

basically where students watch the video lesson and learn the material

outside of class typically this is at home then come to school and freeing of

time in class to help students assimilate that information where there is the

teacher and fellow students to answer questions.


19/55

There are many different types of the flipped classroom and there is no right

way to do the flipped classroom. The flipped classroom is versatile

model that can be adapted to many different levels and content areas.

The flipped classroom has been used from second grade

through graduate level college courses in many subject areas.

But the flipped classroom will look different in a math or science or English

classroom and it will look different at each age level.

The flipped classroom is a powerful tool.


20/55

Calculus proficiencies are up on average 7% with the flipped classroom.


21/55

Here we are comparing two types of the flipped classroom with lecture. The

traditional flipped classroom is up 6% compared to lecture while flipped peer

instruction is up 11% compared to lecture.


22/55

Our failure rates down.

On January 18th, 2012 CNN did an article on the flipped classroom about

Clintondale High School in Clinton Township, Michigan.

This is a financially challenged school near Detroit. The principal stated our

attendance rate has increased, our discipline rate decreased, and our

student failure rate dropped by 33% in one year.


23/55

Students like the flipped classroom since they can get help with math

problems in class and 84% of our parent prefer the flipped classroom

approach to instruction compared to lecture.


24/55

So what are some of the challenges of the flipped classroom?


25/55

One challenge is the upfront time to record all your lessons but there are

some long term benefits like students having 247 access to your curriculum,

students being able to rewatch the video multiple times to better understand

the material and even use the videos to review for their tests.

I use to spend a lot of time before school tutoring students but that has

dramatically dropped since the students can get help in class from me hence

freeing up time for me to focus on ways to improve student learning.


26/55

Our biggest challenge is to make the videos interactive so students areactive in the learning process rather than passively sitting and watching thevideos.For teachers to embrace the ideas of making their videos interactive, the

process needs to be easy.


27/55

Our main goal with bidding adieu to textbooks and flipped classroom was toimprove student learning.


28/55

So we were very surprised when Intel to awarded the Byron High the Intel

School of Distinction winner for high school mathematics.

Intel is looking for math and science programs that promotes student

problem solving, critical thinking, and collaboration skills in math education

and can be easily replicated across the cross.

Tara's story (hybrid/online)

Hybrid-Fall 2011 piloted with 3 classes, successful, so have moved forward with a processfor any teacher to offer a hybrid course

34/55

Our hybrids have moved from the upper AP-type classes to required courses, and we havenoticed some significant changes in those students. Students who, in previous classes,were not motivated to keep grades above a "C" and to turn in assignments, are nowextremely motivated by the carrot of getting out of class two days a week. We know thebenefits....
