10 years as an LAUSD Social Studies teacher60 graded assignments per semester2,000 points worth of work24% course failure rate

Last semester I offered 25 Blended Learning assignments to my students.

Students had choice and control over assignments, which ranged from 10-50 points.

Enthusiasm and online work completion increased and at the end of the semester, my course failure rate had been cut in half to 13%, the lowest it has ever been in my career as an LAUSD teacher.

With iPads, LAUSD teachers will be able to add creative and engaging lessons online and more students may pass courses the first time using just in time intervention strategies.

Key Ingredients in a Flipped Classroom

1. The students learn by doing in class: memorizing, drilling with questions or flashcards, solving problems, conducting research and writing papers.

2. The teacher’s principal activity in class is to help individual students, one at a time, mostly when asked by the student.

3. Each student progresses from one lesson to the next only after demonstrating competence of the current lesson.
