Andrew Deatrick Join us at the Ivy Tech Public Safety Academy on May 25th, 2013 from 9am-12noon for an Instructor In-Service that will demonstrate other options for delivering your training.

Instructor Andrew Deatrick was the recent recipient of the Northwest Allen School “Teacher of the Year” and has been with Northwest Allen County Schools since 2008. Mr. Deatrick teaches Biology I Honors, and Project Lead The Way: Medical Interventions. He employs an instructional technique called "flipped classroom." In traditional classrooms, the teacher is usually the star who is in charge of giving information to the students. In a flipped classroom, the students are the stars. They are in charge of discovering the information, and the instructor is there as their guide.

Students should bring a laptop computer, iPad, or tablet to class if they have one available. 

“Ultimately, flipped learning is not about flipping the 'when and where' instruction

is delivered; it's about flipping the attention away from the teacher and toward the learner.” - Brian Bennett
