What is a "flipped" classroom?
A reversed teaching model that delivers instruction at home through interactive, teacher-created videos and moves “homework” to the classroom. Moving lectures outside of the classroom allows teachers to spend more 1:1 time with each student. Students have the opportunity to ask questions and work through problems with the guidance of their teachers and the support of their peers - creating a collaborative learning environment.
What are the benefits of this model?
- Gives teachers more time to spend 1:1 helping students
- Builds stronger student/teacher relationships
- Offers a way for teachers to share information with other faculty, substitute teachers, students, parents, and
the community easily - Produces the ability for students to “rewind” lessons and master topics
- Creates a collaborative learning environment in the classroom
