A new semester is upon us. I try to do one new
"thing" every time I teach a class. This summer, CTE hosted a
Flip It! Workshop. One of my take-aways was the C3B4Me Policy. I
decided to refer to it as the C3B4Me practice to avoid confusion
with "real" institutional policies.
Essentially, this policy encourages students to be self-directed and
reliant. Read the article
by Dr. Honeycutt, the founder of Flip It Consulting.
I plan on discussing it briefly during my first synchronous
chat. Here’s what I have posted in my
classroom as an announcement:
C3B4Me Practice
Have a question? Before emailing
me, please try to locate your answer on your own by checking three different
sources. Consider contacting a
classmate, reviewing the syllabus, reading the assignment directions or
checking the announcements. If you can’t
locate the information you need, please feel free to contact. I’m here to help!
If you decide to use it this semester, please share your experiences
with this practice/policy. Tried something new this semester? We love to hear about it too! Have a great
semester!
A quick update. I'm liking C3B4Me. During the first two weeks of my fully online course, only two emails regarding information that is already there. Keeping my fingers crossed that this continues to work.
