Flipped Classroom
What is the Flipped Classroom Model?
The flipped classroom model encourages collaboration, inquiry, and problem-solving. Learning in a flipped classroom involves creating or using pre-developed instructional materials; students have access to these videos or lessons during and after school. Based on research by Stewart Dinmore (2019), developing instructional videos increases flexibility for learning time, place, and pace (as cited in Lang-Radd & Witty, 2022). The use of videos offers students unlimited opportunities for repetition and revision; therefore, this process allows students more opportunities to play an active role in their classroom activities while teachers motivate, guide, and provide feedback on student performance (Tucker et al., 2017).

Video Length - 5 minutes, 17 seconds
Role of Teachers:
Teachers circulate around the room to answer questions and lend support.
Uses class time for teacher-guided practice or projects (practice and application).
Create instructional videos
Role of Students:
Responsible for watching short videos outside of class, usually for homework, to help prepare, or frontload, them for classroom activities.
Students learn how to work in a team and share knowledge.
Benefits:
Students control the pace of their learning; using technology for content delivery at home maximizes time on task during the school day
More time for student-centered learning; class time is used for interaction and active learning
Provides teachers more opportunities for formative assessment and teacher feedback
Challenges:
Increased screen time
Students without access to technology outside of the classroom can struggle to access instruction in this model
Students may come to class with incomplete assignments and the necessary instruction needed to apply the information during class the next day
Having extra time to record flipped videos and design flipped lessons
Considerations for preparing to implement a Flipped Classroom:
Ensure that students have access to technology/internet/lesson.
Decide what happens in class and what happens online at home to ensure that each part of the lesson aligns with the next part.
Determine which tech tools are needed for each stage of the flipped classroom process.
Remember to keep lessons short.
