Flipped Model

Directions:

There are many models of blended learning including the lab rotation, station rotation, individual rotation, flex model, a la carte, enriched virtual, and flipped models. Read and watch the following resources about the models of blended learning that are most relevant to our practice in a public K-6 school. After learning about this model, share your thoughts on the corresponding Padlet regarding benefits and drawbacks of each model.

Flipped Model

The Flipped Classroom model flips the traditional relationship between class time and homework. Students learn at home by accessing online content, and class time is reserved for application of knowledge, remediation/enrichment, guided practice, and project-based learning.

This video digs a little deeper. It's an inspiring look at a struggling school which serves a lower socioeconomic demographic. After the implementation of the flipped model, student performance and engagement increases.

One common frustration many teachers voice is that there's never enough time to meaningfully cover all the curriculum, and allow students the opportunity to creatively practice and apply skills before assessing. You'll notice that the flipped model addresses this need because it allows face-to-face class time to be devoted to student application of knowledge with teacher supervision and feedback.
