This document provides an overview of the flipped classroom model from the perspective of a social studies teacher. It describes several ways the teacher has implemented flipping in their classroom, including having students master content at their own pace by watching videos at home, using explore-flip-apply cycles of learning, implementing peer instruction, and conducting inquiry-based "reverse" instruction without videos. Tools, websites and considerations for flipping are also discussed.

12. What is “Flipped Learning?”
“The intentional removal
of direct instruction from the
community into the
individual space.”
Ramsey Musallam Ed.D

13. Myth #1
The flipped class is the same thing as Khan
Academy.

14. Myth #2
All content should be taught through videos.

15. Myth #3
The teacher can relax during class

16. Myth #4
The flipped class is the “magic bullet”
for education.

17. Basics of Flipped Classroom
aka Flipping 1.0
• Direct Instruction delivered via video.
• Show up to class to apply information.
• Students no longer passive learners.
• Teacher not a lecturer.
• More 1:1 attention for students.
• Students continue to “master” content.

18. 4 Ways I have “Flipped”
Mastery of Content
Cycles of Learning
Peer Instruction
Reverse Instruction w/o Videos

19. Mastery of Content:
Philosophy
• Students direct their own learning
•Watch videos at home or school and do
assignments in class when ready
• Teacher interacts with students as the day goes on
• Students don’t receive zeros for missed work
• Students receive weekly grades
• Students are not allowed to move on until they
demonstrate mastery of current content (70%).
Brian Bennett

20. My Mastery Cycles
• Students given videos to watch on Greek and Roman
Civilization. (14)
• Required students to take notes while watching videos.
• Various Labs set up for each video.
• When they were ready, given quiz for each lesson (paper)
• Needed 80% to move onto next lesson
• Class took test at same time.
• Needed 80% to move on to next chapter.
• No increased test scores!

23. Explore-Flip-Apply

24. My Explore-Flip-Apply
• Start with a hooking (Explore) activity - Primary
source, map, video, audio, photo, SQ3R, KWLH.
• Watch video at home and fill in gaps (if any) (Flip)
• In class, students either answer critical thinking
questions, role-play, read and analyze different
primary sources, lead discussion groups, debate,
etc. (Apply)
• Reflections: Group projects or test

25. Brainstorm: What is going on in this video?

26. What can you tell me about Geography?

27. 5 Themes of Geography
Project
• Showed a video over farming
• Brainstormed 5 themes of geography
• Discussions over what theme/themes fall into farming

28. • Watch vodcast over the 5 Themes of Geography and
take notes
• Assign groups to a theme
• Students then created an activity to explain their
theme to second graders

30. Peer Instruction and JiTT
Dr. Eric Mazur Dr. Julie Scheel

31. How Peer Instruction Works
1. transfer of information (out of class)
2. assimilation of that information (in class)
From: Dr. Julie Scheel

32. Why was Rome’s geographic setting
important?
A. Its position was central to Italy and the known
Western world.
B. Strong winds brought heavy spring rains to the land.
C. Farmers depended on yearly flooding to plant crops.

35. Inquiry-Based History (Reverse
Instruction w/o Videos)
•Having your students do the work of historians in class.
•Primary/secondary sources about an era/event.
•Analyze past by creating meaning, synthesize
information and create their own understanding of past.
•Connection to current events.
•Allows students develop skills are essential to
democracy and building deeper understanding.

36. Fishbowl Example
•Meeting of the Minds.
•Divided students based on academic ability.
•Given primary sources and readings about Legalism and
Confucianism.
•Worked in groups to digest information, research, and
summarize importance of governmental topics. Created a
conversation.
• Each group “meet in secret location” and discussed topics
relevant to ancient China.
•Outside groups taking notes and will reflect using Paper
Blogging concept.
