- How well did it answer your research question?
- What further research (new action research cycle) is suggested?
- What do results indicate about changes to the instruction and learning process?
Do either "flipping" or CBL have a future in your teaching practice? Why or why not?
Teaching after COVID!!! I am looking forward to the moment where I can stand at the front of my classroom door and welcome ALL of my students into the room. I am not only excited for that moment, but I am also excited for the new teaching moments I can add to my in-person teaching.
Prior to the pandemic, for about five years our school has made the commitment not to assign homework. This decision was after as a staff we read Hattie's book Visible Learning The teachers talked about the lack of positive data for children in elementary school to have homework. The concept of no homework was hard for teachers, students and the parents! The conversations and discussions around the lack of benefits of assigning homework was a struggle. Eventually, it became part of our practice at our school site. Then, the parents saw the benefit of not having to struggle with homework and the pleasure of having extra family time. Parents, students, and teachers were all in favor of not having homework fo our elementary school.
Then the pandemic. I saw the benefits of prerecording myself doing online reading instruction during the student's asychronous time and then having us work on the content of the lesson during synchronous work. The content and feedbacck I was received from the students was tremendous! The students were more engaged with my lessons after watching my recordings of the lessons. When I asked students to respond, almost all of the students had something to say about the readings. For me, this is going to be a new standard for me when we go back to post COVID teaching. I will start off slow with maybe one lesson a week and see how we go from there. I know I have expressed it before, but I can wait to use all the teaching skills I learning in the time of COVID to my daily teaching.

I was hard to find alot of videos.
Learning to Measure The Size of Problem
- The purpose of this lesson is expected reactions in real life issues
- The students are learning because after parent/group work the students are brought back as a whole group and communicate what size of the problem it is.
- This lesson demonstrates social and emotional learning which is not a traditonal lesson taught in school, it is an essential skill for teachers to teach.
- I could defintely use this in my class; I am going to adapt it for virtual learning and put the students in breakout rooms.
