What is Flipped Learning

Definition: Flipped learning is a pedagogical approach in which direct instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual space, and the resulting group space is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment where the educator guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter.

​

Flipped Classroom and Flipped Learning are different!

Flipped Learning→ Flexible Learning

Allows for a variety of learning modes:

​

• educators often physically rearrange their learning spaces
• create flexible spaces in which students choose when and where they learn
• flexible in their expectations of student timelines for learning
• flexible in their assessments of student learning.

​

Flipped Learning→ Learning Culture

Shifts instruction to a learner-centered approach, where in-class time is dedicated to exploring topics in greater depth and creating rich learning opportunities.

​

• students are actively involved in knowledge construction as they participate in
• students evaluate their learning in a manner that is personally meaningful
• students have opportunities to engage in meaningful activities without the teacher being central.
• activities are accessible to all students through differentiation and feedback

​

Flipped Learning→ Intentional Content

Teachers help students develop conceptual understanding, as well as procedural fluency by:

​

• determining what they need to teach and what materials students should explore on their own
• use Intentional Content to maximize classroom time

Flipped Learning→ Professional Educator

Teachers :

• continually observe their students
• providing them with feedback relevant in the moment,
• assess their work.

They are:

• reflective in their practice
• connect with each other to improve their instruction accept constructive criticism
• tolerate controlled chaos in their classrooms

Things to think about before Flipping

• What is the problem you are trying to solve?
• What will you flip? (A lesson, a unit/chapter, a subject, or a class)
• Who will make your videos? (Curate, create, or a combination)
• What software will you use to make your videos if you make your own?
• Where will you place your videos/resources so that your students can access them? (LMS, Google Drive, YouTube…)
• How will you check (or will you) if your students watch (or should we say interact) with your online content?
• How will you teach your students how to watch your video content for comprehension? (our lesson How to Engage Students while watching Videos)
• How will you communicate to your parents about how Flipped Learning will be a different experience for their children?
• How will you re-organize class time now that you have extra time?

Taken from: Ten Questions You Should Ask Before You Flip Your Classroom

​

​

Challenges and tips

• Student accountability- Flipped Classroom Challenge: Student Accountability
• How do you craft in class activities- collaborative, apply
• Time- create/find videos
• Convincing admins, students, parents that is it valid- Sample letter for parents1; #2
• Infrastructure challenge/Students don’t have access- How to Make Sure Your Students Have Access to Flipped Learning Content
• Finding resources
• Changing student habits
• What do you do with those students who don’t watch the videos?
• Time in front of screens–instead of people and places

​

Flipped Learning: Best Practices

Start small and be willing to give up control

Help students understand how to watch videos for content

Provide in class activities that focus on higher cognition

Keep video lectures short (10-13 minutes max; or 1-2 minutes per grade level)

Student feedback suggests they prefer to see and hear their teacher in the video (Turns out my students like my videos better because I made them)

Building interactivity into the videos helps focus students

Form small student groups that serve as ongoing workgroups for in-class activities

Prepare students and families for the transition
