Thanks for reading and the comment. Thin...Hi Cindy! Thanks for reading and the comment. Things have been going quite well. We are able to place more of the information items on the meeting post and then deal with the items that need to be discussed in person. Next year I would like to even further use the time saved to work as a PLC and to look at student data and work to help our school improvement plan. As well, staff seem to appreciate it as it saves time at the meeting dealing with things that do not apply to everyone or things that really should just be sent out electronically. Here is an example of what I am doing: <br /><br />http://stritastaffblog.wordpress.com/2012/10/03/october-staff-meeting/<br /><br />It is also a great place to have everything posted in one place.<br /><br />Thanks and enjoy the rest of your summer!<br /><br />TimTim Slackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06870502180181665150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830003550003306021.post-41972842400974064152013-07-27T16:46:57.085-04:002013-07-27T16:46:57.085-04:00Hi Tim:

I'm currently preparing for my "Back to school" staff meeting in August and would like to try some of the flipped approach. Any advice or samples you could give me?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Cindy <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473291882502214219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830003550003306021.post-21811790120689307202012-10-22T20:12:45.603-04:002012-10-22T20:12:45.603-04:00Thanks for sharing.

I flip workshops, seminars, meetings, and even a conference session. People who flip any of these environments face the challenge of "buy in" from the participants. Often, your role as the leader of the flip involves supporting the participants in how to function and succeed in this new environment because the rules have changed. <br /><br />Barbi Honeycutt, Ph.D.<br />Flip It Consulting<br />flipitconsulting.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01943509262293741260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830003550003306021.post-38956593594625366682012-10-22T19:45:24.465-04:002012-10-22T19:45:24.465-04:00Thanks for the comment Reed!

Plus, there is more time to really focus on what drives school improvment. There will always be those who are not paying attention or reading the posts. I guess the question is .... Does communicating with staff this way create more engagement?

I...Definitely a worthwhile investment in your time. I flipped an early faculty meeting (emergency procedures) by creating a video. The teachers appreciated that we valued their time and they were able to reference the videos in the future. The only problem: dealing with the 5 or so teachers that didn't watch the video (of course, if it were a "traditional" faculty meeting the chances are that more than 5 teachers wouldn't be paying attention).
