This Maximizing Learning site is developed to encourage teachers and districts to
work at ways to improve student learning. I believe the focus of schools and
teachers is not to "teach", or to "teach" better, but to help students
learn. This typically means changing our focus from being on the teacher
to the focus being on the students and the teacher doing whatever it
takes to help students learn the material. This site has been developed by Troy Faulkner. I am a mathematics teacher at Byron High School in Byron, MN. In 2011, my department and I won Intel's School of Distinction Award
for High School mathematics for our work on developing a textbook free
curriculum and flipped learning. Since 2011, I have had the privilege of presenting at state, national and international conferences, having
numerous national and international articles published about my
department, and working with the Flipped Learning Network on different interview, presentations, and research documents. To read the articles click on "Media". Most of my presentations and articles have focused on how I have used the Peer Instruction Flipped Learning and Mastery Learning models to improve my student learning. |
