We cannot rely on the parents engaging in RE learning at home.
If we can get it to happen that would be absolutely amazing.
Once the project is ready for take off maybe a glossy one page flier direct from the CEO fully explaining and SELLING the project, might be a good idea. It would help for parents to understand this is a bigger thing and not a local/school-based initiative.
Still there needs to be plan B - some suggestions:
- give time before school starts for children to do the flipped learning part on devices at school
- integrate the flipped learning part into other areas of learning that have rotations or independent learning time
- punitive - children who haven't done it stay in at break time - definitely NOT
For older children the peer pressure of letting your partner down if you haven't done the work would work. For year 7 children the strongest peer pressure is usually still their parents.
When we did flipped pd for our staff in Oamaru they had the choice - do the work before the meeting and engage deeply at the meeting for 30 minutes and go home. Or spend 60 minutes doing the preliminary knowledge- gathering during the meeting and a further 30 minutes doing something with it. We couldn't leave anyone behind and if someone hadn't done the prep we would have to slow down and go through it all. Everyone did it.
Ideas for some plan B options for flipped learning for teachers -
