Honors Projects
In order to effectively engage students in today's society, teachers must be willing and prepared to be innovative in their methods. Integration of the content areas is one such way that teachers can build upon prior knowledge and develop meaningful learning experiences for young children.

The Effectiveness Of The Flipped Classroom, Raymond Szparagowski
Honors Projects
This research study explores the “flipped” or “inverted” classroom and its effects on student learning.

During this study, a flipped classroom was implemented in a high school mathematics course. Data was collected from student grades, a pre and post survey, a class interview/discussion, and my personal notes from teaching. My results indicate that some potential benefits of the flipped classroom …
