Changing the Face of Instruction

I am a member of several Facebook teacher sites and am in the midst of adding to one where a teacher said his administration has banned front of the room teaching.  A number of the teachers are saying how awful that is.  Truth be known I have a few minutes in front of the room, but have mostly moved away from it.  Consider today's lesson in my economics' class

• The kids watched a flipped video on graphing perfect competition
• We started with a quiz where the kids had to draw four graphs and could use their video notes. 
• In my class I won't count the quiz unless the notes are acceptable and occasionally make them redo it - but I always let them redo it and always give full credit even if it is late and most of the work is turned in on time as the kids know I will call parents if 2 or more assignments aren't done in a two week period - and I rarely have to call!
• Then four different kids went to the board to draw the graphs.
• Next the kids worked on their problem sets.
• I walked around the room and answered questions from the previous day's work and the current ones.  
• Oh I should say that my room is set up in 8 pods of four desks so the kids can easily help each other.  Each group is set up with different levels of students.  
• Should I add that we have not opened a book this year either so it is not only cost efficient, but videos are how kids teach themselves now.  
• We took our second test of the year last week and my average score is up 10% over last year's kids. 
• I use this format (flip video, quiz, interactive, walling around the room) in all of my classes now and wish I had figured this out years ago!
