My commitment to the students
★ provide great service
★ encourage students to develop lifelong learning and
lifelong library use
★ connect reluctant readers to books that help them get
excited about reading
★ promote a place where all kid succeed - a place where
all belong
★ avoid saying “I don’t have time” to a child
How did I decided on flipped instruction
I enjoy facilitating student created multimedia projects
and am constantly looking for new ideas.

The Big Question
How can I use a flipped model of library
instruction to improve the delivery of
library instruction for students.
Great place to start
self taught flipped instructors sharing their expertise
The FLIP framework,
released March 12,
2014 helps to guide
the practice of flipped
instruction and
describes the
transformation that
occurs turning the
classroom into a
dynamic, interactive
learning
environment.
flipped instruction - a definition
The flipped classroom is a pedagogical model
in which typical lecture and homework
elements of a course are reversed. Short
instructional videos are viewed by students
before class giving them time in class to apply
their knowledge.

Benefits to flipped instruction
Rebecca Hamlett
❖ students can access the lesson any time any place (a
student who is absent can watch the lesson at a
different time)
❖ students can review the lesson as many times as
needed
❖ Instructors are able to devote class time to the
application of the skills instead of “telling” the students
the information
❖ this style of instruction can better meet the need of
students with different learning styles
How does flipping work in an elementary classroom?
Dr. Lodge McCammon
Best practices in flipped instruction
a few recommendations from those who are using it
● keep videos short 3-5 minutes long
● students are more receptive when the instructor is the one recording the
video
● use a variety of formats not just videos
● have a plan for students with no access to technology
● keep the technology simple. (If something can go wrong it will.)
● are your students engaged and is there a “Need to know”
● if possible, use lessons created by others
● know the end result of the activity and work backwards. What do you want
students to be able to do and what do they need to learn to get there.

as “unlisted” they can only be accessed with the URL
● on demand lessons will also be a communication tool with families
informing them of how students are supported by the libraries.
