In order to enhance student learning, participants in this workshop will collect and reflect upon data
(Standard 4; Learning Forward Standards for Professional Learning), in order to design relevant and
rigorous learning experiences (Standard 1; KEPPS), for all students, in an educational environment
that promotes self-motivation and positive social interactions (Standard 3; KEPPS). Participants will
engage in research for the benefit of positive long-term change in the academic setting (Standard
6; Learning Forward Standards for Professional Learning). The focus of the workshop will be on
understanding the two mindsets (i.e., the growth mindset and the fixed mindset), and how each type
helps or hinders the learning process for students. The goal of the workshop is to not only understand
your personal mindset, on a deeper level, but to determine the mindset of each of the learners in your
care, so that you can begin designing learning experiences to transition those with a fixed mindset
to that of a growth mindset so that continuous improvement evolves, through a collective learning
environment effort, where both personal and shared goals align for the sake of the whole (Standard
1; Learning Forward Standards for Professional Learning). This course is an online class. Participants
will use Moodle to complete their work. Computer requirements may be found at: www.friends.edu/

This workshop will focus on developing a better understanding of the newer dimensions of the science
vision for education. The scientific method and term “inquiry” are better defined now with the science
and engineering practices. The cross cutting concepts are new to science education and link the
different disciplines in science and connect to other content areas. These two dimensions are essential
for the new vision of the 3-dimensional learning in science. This workshop also supports teachers in
the deepening their knowledge of the two newer dimensions of the 2013 Kansas Curricular Standards
for science and more importantly how to use the three dimensions in designing quality lessons for
students. Participants will examine and use resources from the NGSS web site and will engage in
hands on activities around modeling, the SEPs (science and engineering practices), and the CCC (cross
cutting concepts). Participants will have the opportunity to leave with a three-dimensional lesson plan
of a standard of their choice that will include phenomena. The participants will be working toward the
KSDE board vision results that their district is working towards in the areas of, post-secondary success,
civic engagement, kindergarten readiness and high school graduation. This workshop is primarily for
districts served by the Northwest Kansas Educational Service Center (NKESC) in Oakley. However, other
teachers may take this workshop. People outside the NKESC must register through Heather Stephens

Traditional classroom settings offer heavily led teacher instruction and projects with content practice occurring out of the classroom. Unfortunately, this homework approach may not support all students, as they do not have access to the resources they most need. Imperfect practice only leads to a situation for re- teach in the classroom. A flipped classroom allows teachers to introduce new content through videos for students to view prior to class. Students are armed with background knowledge of the topics and enter the classroom better equipped. Flipped classroom strategies provide educators wit the benefits of emphasizing important points, while allowing students the benefit of learning at a pace suitable for their needs. Students can pause, rewind, and review as many times as needed, prior to class. Teachers may now devote more attention to assignments, projects, and individuals during class time. Join us as we equip teachers with the tools and resources needed to design an engaging “flipped classroom” that encourages student success and teacher interaction. This is truly an “Education Flipped” experience. This course is an online class; participants will complete the work using Moodle. Computer requirements may be found at: www.friends.edu/technology/.
