Speakers at the conference also will include:
- Kristin Daniels of Stillwater Area Public Schools in Minnesota, who will discuss data from a flipped learning research study and how to scale up a flipped learning pilot program;
- Ellen Dill of Bellingham, Mass., who will discuss the integration of flipped learning in foreign language classes;
- Brett Clark of Evansville-Vanderburgh School Corporation in Indiana, who will talk about “flipping” professional development;
- Anna Brown of Chicago, who will address the training of pre-professional teachers and flipped learning in higher education; and
- Jen Gray of Falcon High School in Colorado Springs, Colo., who will talk about assessments in the flipped classroom.
Excluding the keynotes, the sessions during the conference will be concurrent. However, the June 19 sessions will be repeated on June 20—with more than 24 hours of concurrent sessions to choose from. Participants will be able to attend 6 sessions on-site and view the others back home. Paid conference attendees will receive a password to view all three plenary sessions and 24 concurrent sessions on the Flipped Learning TV channel.
More session topics and speakers will be posted in a few weeks here, but expect to hear from flipped classroom experts in grades 5-12 in math, science, English/language arts, social studies, and foreign languages. Depending on the level of practice of attendees, first-timer flippers can get the “nuts and bolts,” with advanced classes for those who have been practicing for a while. Sessions specific to key hardware and software tools also will be offered.
