The flipped classroom reverses how class and home time areutilized. In the flipped classroom model, students watch a lesson (or lecture) on video while at homeand traditional ‘homework’ is done in class allowing for more project-based learning, discussiontime, and student access to the teacher’s expertise and their peers. This course will encompassresearching the benefits of the flipped classroom model as revealed in the literature; discovering thetools necessary to facilitate the flipped classroom; researching resources for using the flippedclassroom in differing grade levels and subject areas; how the common core standards allow morefreedom in creating a flipped classroom environment; and problem areas for instituting the flippedclassroom. This course addresses standards set forth for educators within both the NationalEducational Technology Standards for Students, the National Board for Professional TeachingStandards, and the Common Core Standards. In addition, this course will help teachers meet thegoals of the 2010 National Education Technology Plan, which set forth the following goals foreducators:1) The Practice of Connected Teaching2) Connecting with Exemplary Practices3) Connecting to Content, Expertise, and Activities Through Online Communities4) Connecting with the Growing Demand for Skilled Online Instruction5) Closing the Technology Gap in Teaching6) Connecting With Students to Personalize and Motivate LearningThe flipped classroom model can be highly motivational, provide for very individualized(differentiated) instruction, increase problem solving opportunities, provides for blended learningpractices, and increases contact between teacher and student through more hands-on interactionsNote: Required textbook must be purchased separately.Last Revision Date: 1/1/2020To register for courses go to https://ce.fresno.eduPage 1 of 9
