This series is great ! I have learned a lot more. Mr. Bergmann, would you mind to talk more about your suggestions on how to grade these mastery checks? What if some of my Asian kids have “Teacher Anxiety”- when ever they need to talk to a teacher, they stutter ? Do you think quiz would be a good way to do mastery check for these kids? Thank you for doing this series for us. I can’t wait to read your new book. It would be great if you can talk more about the logistics of the flip mastery model. That will be very helpful to me:)
If they “stutter” maybe chatting with you will be good on a number of levels. I am not totally anti-quiz, but for me, it was a logistical nightmare. I think you need to do what you think is best for your kids in your situation.
Thanks, Mr. Bergmann. Thank you for spending time on answering my questions. I really appreciate it. I have learned and grown so much!
Jon,
I’m pretty sure you once wrote about how ideally we should divide our classroom time as 1/3 content, 1/3 relationship building, and 1/3 – I can’t remember. Can you please help?
Thank you!
Thanks for the comment. Not sure I have ever used thirds in a fashion. Though I believe that relationships is what drives good instruction, I did not devote much class time to relationship building. Relationships happened in the context of the content and learning. As I would do mastery checks I might ask a student about his or her interests. So in my flipped mastery class, it was an engaging place of activity, exploration and learning all in the context of relationship.
