DESCRIPTION

Flipping your classroom is becoming more and more common today. But what about flipping professional development for teachers? What if they could complete much of school's professional development online and meet periodically to discuss what they have done and how it has impacted their teaching? Concordia International School Shanghai is in year one of this experiment and we would like to share with you our successes, and yes, our failures. Specifically, this workshop will cover: * Platforms for building online content * How we used Harry Potter and other incentives to encourage teachers to jump on the PD bandwagon * Tips for creating compelling course content * Marketing tips to encourage staff interest * The importance of humor when asking people to try something different

My MistakesLearning

MichaelBoll.me | @autismpodcast

Focus on Change Management

• Harder

• Tech is the easy part

• Less predictable

• Tech people are often the least skilled at this

MichaelBoll.me | @autismpodcast

People Like Personal Visits

I automated rewards too much in the beginning

MichaelBoll.me | @autismpodcast

Emails Are Easy To Ignore

MichaelBoll.me | @autismpodcast

Pushing Change In your Department

• Find a project manager

• Asana if possible

• Watch for cyclical excuses

• Lead, help, give, give, give

MichaelBoll.me | @autismpodcast

Metrics Are a Pain

MichaelBoll.me | @autismpodcast

Not Everybody Is as Excited

MichaelBoll.me | @autismpodcast

Be Wary of Vanity Metrics
