We are moving from this…..

To this…

A Flipped Classroom occurs when direct

instruction (lecture) is moved from the

group learning environment (classroom) to

the individual learning space (home,

library, bus, community center).

Flipped Learning

Moves from a teacher-centered classroom to a

student-centered learning environment.

The process of this ideology may take

months, or even years.

Start with a lesson

Collaborate

Curate, create, hybrid

Flipped learning is a bridge, to…….

A bridge to somewhere….

• Plain ol’ Flipped classroom

- Extended lab time - Art shows

- Demonstrations, presentations, - Entrepreneurial programs conversations, debate

- Mock Elections, model Congress/UN/Supreme Court

• Flipped Learning leads to various teaching methods:

- Mastery Learning - Performances

- Project/Problem/Inquiry -based Learning - Peer Instruction

- Socratic (silent) method - Writers’ Workshops

- Service learning /Community service

• Don’t forget, you can flip…- Professional development - Faculty/staff/departmental

meetings

- Parent and community relations - HR
