With Flipping STEM, you've got this.

"Students say they've never had this much fun in math."

- Wendy Fresh, Flipping STEM instructor

The Flipped+ model is about more than students watching video's and doing homework. Jessica and Wendy developed this approach to increase equity and engagement.

In this training and mentoring course, instructors will learn how to create an inclusive environment where learners are engaged and met where they are in terms of their level of understanding. 

Both students who come in loving STEM classes and those who are struggling will get the support they need, thus developing an understanding that is deep and meaningful... and fun. 

"I loved it! A practical, hands on program to help me teach better in the fall!"

Mentoring

Between the two days of live sessions, you will complete assignments for one section of content you teach to help you create a flipped class. These include creating a video and notes page for it, creating an activity and worksheet for it, and creating an assignment.

A Slack channel will be available for participants to talk with each other and Jessica and Wendy about the work they are doing on their classes. This approach provides a safe and effective way to interact as well as helps teachers make progress with support.

You will leave this class with a completely created Flipped+ plan for one section of your class and the ability to transfer these skills to any subject and/or course you teach.

About the Instructors

Jessica Bernards and Wendy Fresh have been teaching mathematics at both the college and high school level since 2005 and 1990, respectively. Currently they are both full-time tenured professors at Portland Community College. They have taught a wide range of mathematics courses from arithmetic up through Calculus, not only on campus but in hybrid courses and online courses as well.

Both Jessica and Wendy are members of AMATYC (American Mathematics Association of Two Year Colleges), with Jessica also a member of AMATYC’s Project ACCESS Cohort 9. In this cohort, Jessica developed a study skills program specifically related to mathematics. This program is now used at more than 30 colleges and high schools nationwide, and significant data from those schools has shown that students who use the program have higher rates of success and retention.

Jessica received the national Leila and Simon Peskoff award for her work in this area. Read more →

Yes! This model can be used in any type of course - online, hybrid, or in-person. Once you have prepared a Flipped+ class you will be able to seamlessly go between these three modalities with minimal transitional prep time.

Many faculty have unused or reimbursed professional development funds from cancelled events. Another option is to use some of the CARES Act funds that your college receives. If neither option works, reach out to your dean, department chair, or principal and ask if they will allocate some funding to this training. 

Any STEM subject in any grade from middle school through graduate school. The instructors will use math and other STEM subjects as examples. The methods can be adjusted to many subjects.
