This document outlines the 5 steps to implementing a flipped classroom model: 1. Determine where the flipped model makes the most sense based on topics students struggle with or activities that are difficult to complete in class. 2. Spend class time engaging students in application activities and feedback to reinforce concepts learned outside of class. 3. Clarify the connections between in-class and out-of-class work so students understand what to prepare for and what will be built upon. 4. Adapt materials for students to acquire content before class through videos, readings, or other media. 5. Extend learning beyond the classroom through discussion boards and collaborative groups to continue practicing ideas.

STEP 3: Clarify connections between inside and outside
of class learning
 What part of the homework assignment could be
moved inside of class to help students apply the
content?
 What practice do students need inside of class to
prepare them for the assignment completed after
class?
 What content do students need to know before class to
successfully engage in the learning activity during class?

STEP 4: Adapt your materials for students to
acquire course content in preparation for class
 What will students need to read or view in
advance to class?
 Traditional materials can be used like
 Textbooks or relevant articles
 Online video or audio content
 Provide a way to ask questions outside of
class

STEP 5: Extend learning beyond class
through individual and collaborative
practice
o Use discussion board or academic social

o Encourage student to create informal
learning groups

8. Pros and Cons of Flipping
PROS
 Kids who were absent
can stay current
 Helps those who don’t
get the lesson the first
time
 Can use online sources
to check for
comprehension
 Student-centered
learning
 Efficient
CONS
 Digital divide: some
students don’t have the
technology
 Skill, practice, and front-
end work to make
videos interesting
 Don’t get direct
feedback from students
to help gauge
comprehension
 Relies on preparation
and trust
