Flipped classroom: lecture before class
Not enough hours and a fear that pre-work goes unwatched.
Prompt
One test: after the session, learners can do something unaided that they could not before. Without that, richness is noise.
Task: Not enough hours and a fear that pre-work goes unwatched.
[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
- hours and content
- self-study ability
- formats available
- what class time must solve
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.
[Go through each of these]
- pre-work under fifteen minutes with one required question
- class time for practice, questions, critique only
- use the question as a ticket in
- which content should not be flipped
[Process]
1. Write an observable 'can do' statement
2. Work backwards and cut what does not serve it
3. One ten-minute exercise per session
4. One question that exposes misunderstanding
5. Mark where learners drop out
[Output]
Goal, content, exercise, check, dropout point.
[Do not]
- No unobservable objectives like 'understand'
- One point per session
- Never lecture without practice
- Do not assume their interest matches yoursWhat to state before it starts
Leave these unsaid and the model fills them with an assumption. Most 'wrong answers' start here.
- hours and content
- self-study ability
- formats available
- what class time must solve
Go through each of these
Where this kind of work most often goes wrong. Already in the prompt, so you do not have to remember it.
- pre-work under fifteen minutes with one required question
- class time for practice, questions, critique only
- use the question as a ticket in
- which content should not be flipped
