Homework
An important aspect of the classroom
Teachers use homework to determine whether or not you know what you were taught.
Homework can be very frustrating...
Have you ever gotten home and realized that you forgot your homework in your locker?
Have you ever started a worksheet, only to realize that you did not remember what you were taught in class?
Have you ever wished that you were given more time to work on a homework assignment in class?
Do you learn best by watching something being done and then doing it yourself?
Do you learn better when you can get help and discuss difficult lessons with your classmate?

A guide by Chip Heath & Dan Heath:
Adopting a flipped classroom model requires creating a new culture of learning
Flipped class stakeholders :
➔Students Transferring the ownership of learning to the students
➔Administrators Bring them into conversation
➔Parents Teaching them about a flipped classroom using a flipped classroom approach
Strategies to engage key stakeholders
Students
Students should be the most engaged participants in the learning process
It’s a sign that students are engaged and teachers are transferring learning ownership to students if they say “This is hard” or “It is unlike anything I have ever experienced”.
Tip
Students are doing all the work in class.
Administrators
Bring them into the conversation
Open and honest conversation is one of the great starting point with your administrators.
Talk to them about how this will increase the student engagement in the classroom and be communicative about the changes will be making in the classroom.
Or just take them to a flipped class.There is nothing like seeing the flipped classroom in action.
Tip
Have an open and honest conversation.
Take them to a flipped class.
Parents
Parents generally love the flipped classroom model because:
1.Their children gets more individual attention from their teacher
2.Parents does not have to be the content expert at home
It you find some parents are reluctant to adopt the flipped classroom model, you could
Teach them about a flipped classroom using a flipped classroom approach
Tip
What better way to teach parents about the flipped classroom model than flip the back to school night?
