What is it we want our students to learn?
Online videos/lectures present skills and concept attached to a standard.
How will we know if each student has learned it?
By flipping your classroom, you have more time in class to assess and differentiate. Do a formative assessment at the beginning of class instead of at the end.
How will we respond when some students do not learn it?
You will have more time in class to answer questions and guide students through their applications of the standards.
How can we extend and enrich the learning for students who have demonstrated proficiency? Students will have more time in class to explore topic-specific projects, act as peer tutors, or work on a self-guided enrichment.
