Flipped Classroom

In my effort to try something new I have flipped my classroom to give students more power over their learning. In my first grade class I have no homework, no desks, and short teacher led lessons. I do have many opportunities for group work, small group instruction at tables, and provide instruction at differentiated learning levels. When walking into my classroom it is not quiet. You can find student are sitting around tables, on the floor, in our small library, and I am usually with a small group. 

Using this method of learning, I have noticed a huge increase in student understanding of math concepts. During our math time students work together in pairs. They use manipulatives and help each other. I provide assistance as a facilitator. 

During ELA time I provided small group instruction as explained in this previous blog: http://www.teacherslearningconnection.com/ccss-blog/center-rotation-schedule

Some resources I found helpful are:
  • Role Reversal: Achieving Uncommonly Excellent Results in the Student-Centered Classroom  by Mark Barnes
  • The Gazette: Flipped classrooms put students in charge of learning
  • We Are Teachers: The Flipped Classroom: Infographic
