Doris Herrmann from Clear Creek ISD outlines the process of implementing flipped classrooms at Clear Falls High School. The key steps included convincing administrators by providing research on benefits, creating uniform procedures for video access and assignments, training teachers starting with a small pilot group, and gaining parent buy-in through an informational parent night and regular communication. Teachers were given flexibility in video creation tools while maintaining some consistency in assignments and support for students without home internet access. Initial results were promising based on student grades, engagement surveys, and interviews. Resources for continued learning and training were also provided.

Experience
 Some uniformity is expected to allow all students the
ability to know what to expect.
 All Media linked On Google Site
 Each Media has a “Ticket In” that students completes during
video
 Students who do not have access to computers at home are
given passes to the library before school or during lunch or to
a computer lab to watch video or they can check out an iPod
