One of our 5th Grade Math and Science teachers, Katherine Lien, was the recipient of a $450 grant from the Credit Union of America for a project entitled “Increasing Academic Proficiency with a Flipped Classroom.” With the awarded funds, Mrs. Lien has purchased an Elmo Visual Presenter that will allow her to record videos, visual and written demonstrations of mathematic concepts for the students to be able to view during class instruction. Additionally, the students will have access to these videos while at home to aid in successful homework completion. This technology will free up the teacher to monitor the classroom for both behavioral needs and academic deficits in students that may otherwise be missed during a traditional classroom lecture. Mrs. Lien’s goal with this “Flipped Classroom” technology, and rapidly growing teaching style, is that the students will increase their academic success by having access to a wide-range of learning modalities.
