We have to communicate with our stakeholders the new methods of instruction that we use and why we use the methods.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08564750482901309911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982631002654728278.post-86452892860838053002015-02-19T13:45:40.420-05:002015-02-19T13:45:40.420-05:00After reading your post, I will NEVER refer to it ...After reading your post, I will NEVER refer to it as a "Flipped Classroom " again. You are exactly right with your statement, "Simply the way something is stated or what it is called can create the perception of it." Every time I would talk with parents about trying to find ways to "flip" our K/1 Fusion classrooms, I am always faced with negativity. Once I start explaining what we really want to do, they then completely change their attitudes towards the idea. If I would start with calling it "Blending Learning," I am sure parents wouldn't automatically second guess it! Thanks! Great tips!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03190239087558487403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982631002654728278.post-19720912672873844902015-02-14T09:01:38.362-05:002015-02-14T09:01:38.362-05:00I suggest first finding out which of your students...I suggest first finding out which of your students are capable of giving peer to peer assistance. That involves learning more about each student and their communication abilities with other students. I remember a class of mine where I had two students whose parents were teachers at the middle school and elementary level. These students had no intentions of becoming teachers after their schooling, but they were very good at helping others. I truly believe it is due to fact they were raised in a family with educators. The point is, I had to learn more about my students and their backgrounds to realize they were good at helping others.<br /><br />Obviously students need to know the content to be able to help students. Sometimes I have seen students who don't know the content inside and out work with others and stimulate conversations that allow both students to grow. <br /><br />Another good practice is to not have too many rules in your peer to peer support system. Don't force students to accept the collaboration or help other students on certain days. After a while, the system will run on its own without needing any rules or protocols to follow.<br /><br />Students that can't stay on task when working with others or see it as "extra" work are not ready to be in a leader in a support system. I like to have conversations with the students who are going to assist with instruction on what they are getting out of the experience. The small doses of instruction allow the students providing the support opportunity to grow and stretch themselves as learners.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348146483810969724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982631002654728278.post-89279319782027861312015-01-21T14:30:16.269-05:002015-01-21T14:30:16.269-05:00Do you have any suggestions for how to set up the ...Do you have any suggestions for how to set up the peer to peer support system? My experience with peer mentoring and peer feedback has always been a little disappointing. Some of my "mentors" see it as unfair because it is "extra" work. Others don't seem to have the discipline to stay on task when they are working with an otherwise struggling student. Some struggling students seem to refuse to engage with material whether it is me or another student working with them.
