Flipped Classes

For all students and families,
As the year progresses, one of my intentions is to "flip" the normal structure of my math classes. This is not a new idea in education, but is something that I believe will make my time with your student more meaningful and effective. What this means is the job of taking notes and copying vocabulary definitions will shift to home. Student's nightly assignment will become copying note sets and vocabulary. In class we will focus on problem solving in groups and individually. Most problem sets will be completed here, as well. This tends to shift the part of the math class where students struggle the most out of your living room and into my classroom. It should also free me up to have more one on one time with students.

This will likely happen slowly throughout the 1st quarter and will start with the algebra 1 classes as I become satisfied that they are very well trained on note taking. Please do contact me with any concerns regarding this strategy.
