About You

• Your professional role/focus

• What drew you to this session?

• Your experience with Flipped Learning

Guiding Questions

• What makes PD effective?

• What are the key elements of the Flipped Learning approach?

• What might flipped PD look like? (3 models)

• Comparing Outcomes

• Application to your contexts/needs

YOUR Professional PD experiences

“What elements make PD effective (good)?”

“What elements make PD ineffective (bad)?”

Effective Professional Development

• Hands-on, Active learning• Relevant, Contextual• Collaborative, Learning Communities• Longer duration, Multi-session• Multi-modal, Extended access (24/7)• Reflective evaluation, focus on outcomes(Desimone, L. 2011; Crispin, C., 2010; Kowalski, J. 2014)

“Job-Embedded PD”

What is Flipped Learning?

(Flipped Learning Network (FLN), 2014) www.flippedlearning.org/definition

A pedagogical approach in which direct 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.

What would your typical class/PD session ‘look like’ to an outside observer?

Practice/Understanding

Complex Cognitive Tasks

IN Class: ‘Direct Instruction’ • Introduce new concepts• Demonstrate new skills & processes• Review homework in large group• Assessment

OUT of Class: ‘Homework’ • Practice problems/worksheets• Write essays• Read chapter/answer questions• ‘Study for tests’

“Traditional” Instruction

IN Class: ‘Direct Instruction’ • Introduce new concepts• Demonstrate new skills & processes• Review homework in large group• Assessment

OUT of Class: ‘Homework’/Application• Practice problems/worksheets• Write essays• Read chapter/answer questions• ‘Study for tests’

Typical Instruction

Passive/Low Risk

Active/High Risk

Out of Class: ‘Focused Direct Instruction’ • Activate prior knowledge• Introduce new concepts• Demonstrate new skills & processes• Review ideas/previous concepts• ‘Intentional Content’

IN Class: Higher Level Cognitive Tasks • Practice problems/skills• Write/evaluate essays• Discuss/analyze readings• Apply to real-world contexts• Access teacher/peer support

“Job-Embedded PD”

Effective PD & the FlipFour Pillars of the FLIP (Flipped Learning Network (FLN), 2014)

www.flippedlearning.org/definition

“flexible learning timelines” “variety of learning modes”

“meaningful learning” “learner-centered”

“intentional, relevant content” “maximize classroom time”

“reflective” “connect with other instructors”

• K-12 Math and Science• Post-secondary• Technologists (online video/class recording tools)

Current Flipped Approach Proponents

Aaron Sams Jon Bergmann Salman Kahn

• Late1800’s - Harvard Law School Casebook Method, Christopher Langdell

• Differentiated/Individualized instruction• Project-based learning• Active Learning

Flipped Approach NOT Really New

Research Basis for the Flipped Approach

• Empirical research in its infancy• Positive findings from anecdotal/action

research in K-12 and post-secondary• Solid research base for embedded concepts Differentiated, individualized,

learner-centered instruction

Project-based learning

Implications for PD in Education

• Pre-work & Follow-up correlates to ⇑ PD time

• Public Accountability correlates to ⇑ PD effect

Implications for PD in Education

• Educators need support to Flip PD–Registration/accountability–Clear Expectations–Host/Funder support–Administrator/system support

How do we get this paradigm shift?

Connections to YOUR Practice

“What does this mean to you?”–“Could a flipped PD model be used for

your content?”

–“How could flipped PD be used in your program?”

–“As an attendee, is it possible for *you* to ‘flip’ a traditional PD session for yourself? How?”

Your Next Steps• “What is ONE important thing you will

take away from this session? “ • “What will you DO with this information?”
