The document discusses the flipped classroom model of education. In a flipped classroom, students receive lectures at home via online videos and then apply the lessons in the classroom with teacher support. This allows students to learn at their own pace and receive individualized help. Pros include tailored learning and advanced students progressing faster. Cons are potential lack of watching videos and reduced teacher involvement. The document advocates for furniture that enables collaboration using personal devices to support flipped learning.
2. What is it?
• Students receive lecture at home, then apply
what they have learned in the classroom.
• Since the lecture is recorded, students have the
ability to replay the lecture on their computers,
Ipads, laptops, etc.
• Teachers provide support to help students
apply what they have learned. Also to help
students seek out information needed to
master the material.
• Students must master the material before
moving on.
3. Pros of the Flipped Classroom
• Students get an education in the classroom
tailored to their individual learning needs.
• “Gifted” students can advance at a faster pace
in this mastery style system.
• Those with similar learning challenges can be
placed in groups, so the teacher can provide
“just-in-time” learning.
• Satisfies students innate desire to be
autonomous, which can promote creativity.
4. Cons of the Flipped Classroom
• Creates concern students will not watch lecture
at home- too much freedom.
• Students become too independent, the
potential for reduced instructor involvement.
• Concern that some students are incapable of
learning without teacher assistance.
• Unable to process the material presented to
them in a given lecture/presentation.
5. Flipping Your Furniture-Collaboration is Key
Increased focus on collaboration and flexibility.
Furniture solutions that support personal devices
(laptops,Ipads,etc.)
7. Our
• It’s important to remember there is no one
“School of the Future Concept”
• We work with each school to help them decide
what direction is the best fit, and how our
furniture can help them achieve their vision.
• Refer to our project profiles to see what has
worked well for other schools. Our goal is to
help you arrive at the model best suited for you.

Peer into Jonathan Bergmann's Classroom as he explains the
flipped-mastery model. Presently Jonathan Bergmann &
Aaron Sams are writing a book on the flipped classroom.
