· In school we decided to implement the mastery flipped classroom strategy for the nine
grade.
· Class time will be devoted to activities like skill development or concept practice.
· In the flipped classroom settings, students usually watch instructional video lectures at their own time to a mastery level before coming to the classroom.
Model Purpose
· To implement the flipped classroom strategy, eLearning department at school will design and develop instructional materials which include video lectures and printable materials.
· The purpose of this model is to help the eLearning department at school to systematically develop and produce high-quality video lectures which can be uploaded to the Internet or distributed to students directly, so they can watch it before coming to the classroom.
This project will follow the ADDIE model guideline.
The model components required include:
Analysis:
· The model will start at the 9th grade level where it will determine whether it can be applied to lower grades, and eventually to the whole system. Analyzing learners will answer questions like what their current level of knowledge is, what do students already know, what they should learn and know at this level, what their level of knowledge and skills related to technology, etc.
· Environment analysis should reveal available technologies and tools which can be used at development as well as later stages to consume instructional materials.
· The next step will be to analyze the course materials with the help of English language experts. This step will be carried out in order to understand what would benefit the readers more, and hence guide in the inclusion of important course content in the course. The process then goes to materials analysis which is done for the course. The curriculum to be analyzed is centralized and prepared by the Responsible for curriculum design and the analysis of materials is mainly about discovering what the content is and how it can be used to benefit learners and learning outcomes.

Design Goals and objectives: After analyzing course materials, instructional goals should be written in order to get feedback from formative evaluation which can help improve the process). Goals are general statements that describe what learners should be able to do by the end of the course Goals also are very important as they will guide further design efforts.
objectives: These goals will help write instructional objectives, decide on instructional strategies, and assessment techniques for each lesson. Objectives are statements that specifies what learners can do because of instructions. Unlike goals, instructional objectives should be specific and measurable. Then, suitable instructional strategies should be chosen to suit the intended learning outcomes as there are different strategies for learning declarative knowledge, procedures, concepts, problem-solving, etc. Assessment is important because it tells us if or if not learning has happened, so choosing the right assessment techniques is crucial at this stage.

Development # At this point development of content, materials, and videos can begin for each lesson. Experts from different disciplines, i.e. videographers, subject matter experts, graphic designers, etc. can work together to get the job done. Again, it’s highly recommended to develop one lesson at a time, check it internally, evaluate the process and whether or not educational video is doing what is intended to do. The main purpose of this evaluation is to reflect on the process and the model/ process in order to make it efficient and effective.

Pilot Implementation # A pilot Implementation is a small implementation planned before the main rollout of a project. The intention of a pilot Implementation is to test the project plan while controlling the outcomes and evaluating the results.

Formative evaluation is a method for judging the project and this part of the evaluation focuses on the process. In the Formative evaluation, we will monitor how well the instructional goals and objectives are being met. Its main purpose is to catch deficiencies and fix it.
______________________________________________________________________________
Revising Materials
identify weaknesses in instructional materials - Identify problems in instructional materials - identify if the goals are achieved
______________________________________________________________________________
Formative evaluation Assuming everything is fine, the process will be repeated for all lessons and an informative evaluation at this level can help enhance implementation, development of goals at a unit/course.
Summative evaluation will follow to make sure that learners are learning as we expected and evaluate student learning at the end of course
