It started with a simple observation: Students need their teachers present to
answer questions or to provide help if they get stuck on an assignment; they
don’t need their teachers present to listen to a lecture or review content.From
there, Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams began the flipped classroom: Students
watched recorded lectures for homework and completed their assignments, labs,
and tests in class with their teacher available. What Bergmann and Sams found
was that their students demonstrated a deeper understanding of the material than
ever before.This is the authors’ story, and they’re confident it can be yours
too.
Learn what a flipped classroom is and why it works, and get the information
you need to flip a classroom. You’ll also learn the flipped mastery model, where
students learn at their own pace, furthering opportunities for personalized
education. This simple concept is easily replicable in any classroom, doesn’t
cost much to implement, and helps foster self-directed learning. Once you flip,
you won’t want to go back!
