What is a Flipped Classroom?

A flipped classroom is a teaching model that involves flipping the traditional classroom setup. Traditionally, direct instruction happens in the classroom, and students work on practice problems or homework at home. In a flipped classroom, this is flipped—direct instruction happens at home (via pre-recorded videos or other materials) and students work on practice problems or homework in the classroom. 🌎

How Does it Work?

The flipped classroom model starts with teachers creating materials (such as instructional videos, readings, and practice problems) that students can consume outside of the classroom. Then, during class time, students work on applying what they’ve learned. This can involve working in groups, doing hands-on activities, or having discussions with their peers. 💻👩‍🏫

What are the Benefits of Flipped Classrooms?

There are many benefits to the flipped classroom model, such as:

• Improved student engagement and motivation
• More personalized learning experiences for students
• Increased student achievement and academic performance
• Enhanced collaboration and communication skills
• More efficient use of class time 🤓

How Can You Implement a Flipped Classroom in Your Own Teaching Practice?

Ready to give flipped classrooms a try? Here are some steps you can take to get started:

1. Determine your learning objectives - Before you start creating materials for your flipped classroom, do some careful planning and decide on your learning objectives. What do you want students to learn?

2. Create your materials - Once you’ve determined your learning objectives, start creating your materials! You can use a variety of tools to create your instructional videos, such as Loom or Screencastify.

3. Assign the materials - Once your materials are ready, assign them to your students to watch or read before the next class session. 📹

4. Plan your class time - Once your students have consumed the materials, it’s time to plan what you’ll do during class time. Create activities that allow students to apply what they’ve learned and work collaboratively with their peers.

5. Evaluate and adjust - After your first few flipped classroom sessions, evaluate how things went and adjust as needed. You may need to tweak your materials or activities to better meet your learning objectives.

Tips for Success

Here are some tips for success as you implement a flipped classroom in your own teaching practice:

• Be patient—the flipped classroom model can take some getting used to, both for you and for your students.
• Communicate clearly with your students about what’s expected of them.
• Make sure your materials are high-quality and engaging.
• Use formative assessment to gauge student understanding and adjust your teaching as needed.
• Be willing to be flexible and make adjustments as needed to ensure that your students are successful.
