Leveraging the power of flipped classrooms to create learning projects Mathew Mitchell, Professor Learning & Instruction Department School of Education University of San Francisco 1
Flipping Defined Flipping is about making sure the most di ffi cult or meaningful learning work gets done in the live classroom. In many courses the most difficult portions are done for homework where there is no immediate help from peers or teacher. Lectures are not typically the most difficult part of a course, nor the most meaningful. Therefore often lectures are given as homework in flipped environments.
What's most di ffi cult or most meaningful for your learners?
Traditional Classroom TIME homework first exposure via deeper learning from previous lecture via homework class Class Flipped Classroom TIME homework first exposure via deeper learning plus prep for the video or readings via activities next class Class 4

Gerstein’s Model Demonstration & Application Experiential Engagement • now what • experience • learner-generated • educator-suggested • typically inside the classroom • typically inside the classroom Learners get to demonstrate what they learned and apply the material The cycle often begins with an authentic, often hands-on, learning activity that in a way that makes sense to them. … learners have to create fully engages the student. It is a concrete experience that calls for attention by something that is individualized and extends beyond the lesson with most, if not all, the senses. This is the “motivational starter”. applicability to the learners’ everyday lives. Making Meaning Concept Exploration • so what • what • learner-generated • educator-suggested • typically out-of-class • typically out-of-class Learners reflect on their understanding of what was discovered during Learners are exposed to and learn concepts touched upon during Experiential the previous phases. It is a phase of deep reflection on what was Engagement.

Common Mistakes 30
Instructors don’t sell the flipped classroom. Be mindful of how you frame your new learning environment. Make sure to be as transparent as possible and carefully explain the logistics of the new system. 31
Instructors assign students too much work. Be sensitive to your students’ workload and don’t forget to respect the institute-wide established norms for the permissible amount of homework to assign for each unit of the course. 32
Instructors don’t realize the preparation necessary for in-class activities. Be prepared for an increased workload, especially when you flip for the first time (it will get easier once you get the hang of it). 33
Students aren’t completing work assigned for outside of class. Find ways to make students responsible for covering the materials outside of class, as well as ways to encourage them to want to complete them. 34
Professors still act as the “sage on the stage” rather than the “guide on the side.” Be honest with yourself about how well you have adapted to your new role and how student-centered your newly modified class is. Consider inviting a colleague to observe you and provide some feedback for you. 35
