Why flip your staff meetings?

• Staff time is valuable
• Get more accomplished in less time.
• Class is student centered, why aren't meetings teacher centered?

If we are going to transform the way we teach, we need to transform the way we get professional development.

Do as I say, not as I do doesn't apply anymore.

Administrators NEED to model the behavior they expect to see from their teachers.

Teachers NEED to be professional and do the "homework" outside of meeting time.

Use meeting time to get to the Professional Development teachers want and need.

Staff input on topics is vital.

Professional Development NEEDS to be relevant to teachers.

Having options for teachers is important.

How do I flip the meetings?

• Screencasts
• Google Classroom
• Google Forms/Docs

Screencasts are the easiest way to get the "sit and get" information out to staff before the meeting.

Ways to Screencast

• Screencastify
• Snagit
• Screencast-O-Matic
• Google Hangouts on Air

Google Classroom

• Easily share ideas with staff.
• Get discussion going outside of meeting time.
• Share docs and resources with everyone.

Google Forms/Docs

• Use Forms to get quick input
• Use Docs for collaborating outside of meeting time.

Our students deserve to have their teachers prepared to teach them to be ready for this new age we live in.

If we expect teachers to change the way they teach, shouldn't administrators change the way they prepare teachers?

Now let's look at how we can start to flip staff meetings today!
