A Flipped Classroom Professional Development Initiative of Mathematizing Reading Instruction for Primary and Elementary Grade Mathematics Teachers

This presentation will discuss an initiative designed to equip primary and elementary grade educators with information and research-based practices to facilitate development of teachers’ repertoire of writing instructional strategies and deepen their math content knowledge through a flipped classroom model. The presentation will define and describe the Flipped Learning model, briefly note its historical foundations and address common misconceptions. We discuss learning theories that underlie the model and describe current, although limited, empirical research findings. We also describe concerns that have been raised while we developed the flipped learning model.
