How did The Blake School benefit from a flipped instruction model for professional development? In your professional practice, how could you imagine using these strategies for existing professional development strands or new programs at your school? Or are you already using these strategies, and if so how? Email AddressFirst NameLast NameFeedback

Greater autonomy for adults learnersI don't think these strategies have any merit.deboxer@gmail.comEdJonesBoxer provides a compelling case that over 35% of his community prefers a flipped instructional model. Where less than 30% of his adult learners would rather engage in a traditional workshop. You may want to revist this topic, discussing it with colleagues, and consider resubmitting your response.

Why bother creating your own?deboxer@gmail.comMarySmithWhen we next meet, I would like to know why you think a "pre-packaged" curriculum would suffice in lieu of developing an articulated flipped professional development curriculum. Consider how you plan to assess the growth of your colleagues?

dredfield@stcloudchristian.orgDeAnnRedfieldI would be curious to know how you might imagine using them in your own classroom or school? Could you tell me a bit more about it?

Email sent4/12/2013 10:10:32Are Workshops Dying on the Vine?D. Both A and BI am already using some of these strategies using a self-help website that I often refer staff to (I love the idea of having our help desk software auto-suggest). We also offer an online technology course for staff. My biggest hurdles is that many teachers are resistant to learning on their own and say "Don't make me read/watch a video - just tell me!"ccahill@orono.k12.mn.usCaitlinCahillWhy do faculty prefer the "just tell me" model? Does it "stick" after the session is over? Is there a way to have some of the other members of your community share how the self-help website makes a difference as they plan for classes? (By the way, I can personally attest to the fact that many members of our community said similar things last year.)

Email sent4/12/2013 10:10:49Are Workshops Dying on the Vine?E. All of the aboveFor Blake this model reached a portion of the staff that preferred this JIT format to the traditional form of PD. It identified that pre workshops were preferred by many along with embedded formative assessments.

We are embarking on a major migration to an exclusively google school. This challenge will be different for staff. We can tailor our pd to meet staff where they are at, rather than with the usual scattershoot model.

I go into schools and do training for teachers and media specialists and we always have a webinar before the in-person meeting so they get the background before we meet. Then when we meet it's showing how to use the tools and hands-on time. I do make videos on how to use a lot of the tools we talk about, but it's more for them to look at after instruction, but it could be before.Leann@metronet.lib.mn.usLeAnnSuchy

We have found the most participation in online / flipped options.

My concern - How about the people who choose not to participate?

The self-assessment is valuable.

This would be an excellent way to provide just-in-time learning for those teachers who want to move forward on their own without the wait-time when questions arise. This could be helpful in supporting our district's transition to Google Mail this summer.

Our district is looking at a 1:1 implementation in 2014-15. This is exactly why I came to this session; I see this type of PD as a definite possibility for us as we prepare our staff.

We did use a Moodle course last summer when we did a week long Tech Academy on the flipped classroom. It was helpful to post videos there on how to upload to YouTube, etc for teachers to watch when they needed the information.

I like the idea of providing professional development to meet the needs of the individual teacher. Just as one way does not work for our students - one way of sharing these strategies does not work for staff.

Email sent4/12/2013 10:13:11Are Workshops Dying on the Vine?E. All of the aboveWe all benefit from the early adapters of ideas such as flipped learning. As my school district is moving in that direction, there is valuable information out there regarding what is effective, pitfalls to avoid, things to try, feedback from participants, etc.

One of the things that I'm glad to hear is that a blended or hybrid approach has worked well. Too often administrators are quick to jump on the bandwagon of whatever is new or trendy. Learning from the experience of others can help us be purposeful as we are implementing flipped learning.

For some educators, time is a precious commodity, and flipped learning would be the most efficient PD model. For others, face to face, hands on experiences are needed the most. I am excited to explore the possibilities with my administrators.

Thank you for all of your work!

There is a strong desire among teachers for differentiated PD. Allowing staff to access the content prior to in-person workshops makes for a better, more productive use of time. Give teachers the option, while using formative assessment for accountability.
