EDLD 5301 Action Research Week 3

Flipping the Classroom- Action Research Plan
Goal: The goal of my action research plan is see if student achievement in advanced mathematics is increased by using the flipped classroom model compared to the traditional teaching model.
Action Step(s):	Person(s) Responsible	Timeline: Start/End	Needed Resources	Evaluation
1. Students will take common summative assessments from previous years and their scores will be compared. Students' AP exams scores will also be used to compare the effectiveness of the flipped model	Myself Laura Denna Chris	January 2013 to August 2013	The teachers will need access to last year’s scores as well as the scores for the previous classes AP exams.	A group of teachers will use this year’s scores on multiple assessments using the flipped approach and compare them with previous years data. This will include summative assessments during class and AP exams at the end of the year.
2. Students will be given a survey asking questions about the effectiveness of the flipped classroom model.	Myself	January 2013 to August 2013	Questions: On a scale of 1 to 5 1 being very ineffective to 5 being very effective how would you rate the following: 1. How effective where online video lessons at preparing you for in class assignments? 2. How effective was this format while working on textbook assignments? 3. How effective was using the flipped classroom model at preparing you for the AP exam? Question 4 would be open: 4. What changes if any would you make to the flipped classroom structure in the future? Question 5 Would you recommend using the flipped classroom approach in the future? Y or N	I along with my site supervisor will use the data gained by surveying the student to analyze the effectiveness of the teaching model.
3. Interview a teacher on another campus that is using the flipped classroom model	Myself Dewey	January 2013-May 2013	I will need time granted and permission from my supervisor. I will need a voice recorder and voice to text software	I will write a reflection over the interview and share it with my site supervisor and campus committee.
4. Join a flipped classroom committee	Myself Chris Denna Katie	January 2013-December 2013	Data from teachers and questions that teachers need investigated. Problems teachers are having that are trying to flip their classrooms	We will be using the committee to investigate the effectiveness of the flipped classroom approach and looking at ways that we can help teachers to implement this model effectively in their classrooms.
5. Research the effectiveness of the flipped classroom on students and teachers.	Myself	January 2013-December 2013	I will need books from the library and access to the internet.	I will use the information to share with my committee and site supervisor to make adjustments to our flipped classroom model.
6. Attend a flipped classroom conference webinar.	Myself	January 2013-December 2013	Alan November Webinar at Allen High School	I will attend a webinar conference on flipped classroom to self reflect on what I am doing in my calculus classroom. I will use this reflection and adjust my lessons accordingly.
