This document summarizes the "flipped classroom" model of education, where traditional lectures are replaced with video tutorials for homework, freeing up class time for hands-on activities. While popularized by Khan Academy videos, critics argue simply recording lectures does not improve learning. Proponents note videos allow one-on-one teacher time and mastery-based learning. However, teachers must ensure videos engage students and apply knowledge, not just replace lectures. Overall, "flipping" is best seen as one technique within a broader pedagogy focused on active learning.

The Flipped Classroom: Getting StartedPeter Pappas
I recently gave a webinar on getting started with the flipped classroom. Lots of good questions - seems like many teachers see the value in using "flipping" to redefine their classrooms. They recognize that the traditional classroom was filled with a lot of lower-order, information transmission that can be off loaded to "homework" via content-rich websites and videos. That frees up more classroom time as a center for student interaction, production and reflection.
While some may think flipping is all about watching videos, it's really about creating more time for in-class student collaboration, inquiry, and interaction. It's also is a powerful catalyst for transforming the teacher from content transmission to instructional designer and changing students from passive consumers of information into active learners taking a more collaborative and self-directed role in their learning.
In this webinar I address the opportunities and challenges, introduce some fundamentals and offer suggestions for getting started in a feasible way. I suspect that before long, flipping will no longer be as a fad, but simply another way point in the transition to learning environments that blend the best of face-to-face and online learning.
This document discusses the flipped classroom model of education. It defines flipped classroom as inverting traditional teaching by delivering instruction online outside of class and moving homework into classroom time. This allows teachers to offer personalized guidance and for students to work at their own pace. The document outlines the background of flipped learning dating back centuries, reviews components and benefits of the model, and provides examples of good practices for implementing flipped classroom techniques.
Flipped Classroom Best Practices for Higher Ed (UB Tech 2014 Presentation)Kelly Walsh
This is the slide deck I used for my presentation "Flipped Classroom Success Stories (and How to Make Yours Happen!)" at UB Tech 2014. The final 15 or so slides offer resources for learning about the specific Best Practices culled from the literature resources examined.
The document summarizes research on the flipped classroom model of instruction. It discusses key aspects of the flipped classroom approach, including students learning new content at home through videos and online activities, and using classroom time for hands-on activities and projects. The document also reviews several research studies and articles that discuss benefits and drawbacks of the flipped classroom model according to educators and students. Benefits highlighted include increased active learning time in class, while drawbacks include the significant time required for teachers to develop instructional videos and materials, and ensuring all students have access to technology needed for home learning.
Dr. John R. Jenkins discusses flipped learning, which involves students watching lectures and videos as homework and doing homework-like activities in class. The document outlines the background of flipped learning, including constructivism and behaviorism, defines flipped learning and its advantages, and describes what is known about flipped learning based on case studies. It also provides a sample flipped class session agenda.
The flipped classroom model reverses traditional lecture and homework elements, having students view short video lectures at home before class sessions which are then devoted to exercises, projects, and discussions. It aims to make better use of in-class time and move teachers into more of a guiding role. While online education has faced some setbacks, universities are now grappling with how the internet can change higher education by replacing traditional lectures of 25 students with new pedagogical approaches like flipped classrooms.

Is blended learning well blended? A comparative study of students' and educat...Blackboard APAC
The exploratory study reports the benefits, limitations and challenges, and blend mix of blended learning from the perspectives of students and lecturers for one of the part-time Australian MBAs currently conducted based on traditional classroom teaching at a private education institution in Singapore.
The data collected through semi-structured interviews with 10 existing MBA students and 10 lecturers teaching this MBA programme. In line with prior studies, while students recognise blended learning provides them with greater flexibility and improving their learning outcome and performance, they noted that discipline and commitment to online learning, reduced interaction, and resistance to changes were the three major weaknesses and challenges faced.
Lecturers also felt that though blended learning increased flexibility through designing the course curriculum to suit students with diverse learning style and pace, they noted that the resistance in learning new technology and heavy work load remain as two key challenges in introducing blended learning. Majority of the students preferred online learning to the introduced gradually over time.
The findings in this study provide useful insights to the university and institution in assessing the readiness of students and lecturers for blended learning, and taking appropriate measures for successful implementation of blended learning.

‘Guide more, teach less.’ ‘From sage on the stage to guide on the side.’ ‘I do, I learn.’ These quotes clearly indicate that the role of teacher has gone a sea change from sage on the stage to guide on the side of the students. For well over a decade, the focus of the classroom has steadily shifted from a teaching-centric approach to a learning-centric approach (Barr & Tagg, 1995). This approach warrants for a rethinking of the traditional way of teaching still prevalent in our institutions. Active learning is anything that students do in a classroom other than merely passively listening to the lecture. All genuine learning is active, not passive. It involves the use of mind, not just the memory. A paradigm shift is occurring in teaching-learning activities and the world has moved ahead but our educational institutions still caught in a web of old, traditional methods originated a century ago. It is time for teachers and administrators to think, analyze and steer ahead with the integration of the approaches blended with the tools of technology leading to better learning of our students. Today’s gathering is a step in this direction.
This document outlines a seminar on flipping the classroom. It begins with introductions and discusses challenges teachers face with student engagement. It then defines flipping the classroom as delivering instructional content online outside of class and using class time for hands-on collaborative work. The document explains how flipping the classroom increases interaction and personalized learning, and shifts the teacher role from "sage on the stage" to "guide on the side." It provides examples of video resources on flipping the classroom and has participants plan a flipped lesson applying Bloom's Taxonomy. The goal is to help students learn and be prepared for the 21st century through more active, student-centered learning approaches.

Blended learning combines online and in-person learning. This document discusses several models of blended learning and provides examples of how teachers have implemented blended learning in their classrooms. It describes the flipped classroom model where students learn content at home via online videos and then complete assignments in class with teacher guidance. It also outlines the station rotation model where students rotate between learning stations, some involving online content and activities. Finally, it discusses the Learning by Design approach where students take more control over their learning by researching topics that interest them and then creating projects to demonstrate their understanding.
The document discusses the flipped classroom or flip teaching method of instruction. It describes how the method began in the 1990s with efforts to use technology to move direct instruction outside of class time. This allows class time to be used for hands-on activities, projects, discussions and addressing student questions. The document outlines the key aspects of flip teaching including having students learn new content through online videos and lectures at home, then applying and extending their understanding of the content during in-class activities with teacher guidance. Benefits discussed include improved learning outcomes through differentiated instruction and students receiving instant feedback.

1) A physics teacher named Dave Kawecki implemented a flipped classroom approach for a two-week unit on magnetic fields. He created 16 videos for students to watch as homework to free up class time for active learning.
2) In class, Kawecki was able to almost double the time spent on hands-on activities and small group problem solving, allowing students to get more help from peers and teachers. Students reported preferring this approach and having sufficient time to get help.
3) While results were positive overall, some students did not watch the videos as assigned. To address this, Kawecki began giving online and in-class quizzes on video content to increase accountability and preparation
The document discusses flipping the classroom model of education. It begins by describing a traditional lecture from the 14th century. It then discusses how the flipped classroom moves content delivery outside of class time, often through prerecorded lectures for students to watch on their own schedule. This allows class time to be used for more active and collaborative learning activities like problem-solving sessions with teacher support. The document provides several examples of flipped classroom implementations and discusses challenges and best practices in flipping different subject areas.
The 8 Step Guide to the Flipped ClassroomLorna Keane
For many, flipping the classroom simply involves turning the traditional classroom on its head - moving the class work home, and the homework to class. Others argue there is a lot more to flipping than meets the eye. Rather, as flipped learning pioneer, Jon Bergmann states, it’s moving from “sage on the stage” to “guide on the side.” For students, the obvious benefit lies in the ability to pause and rewind the teacher at will. For teachers, it means less time creating lectures, and more engaged students as the boring introductions are pushed out, and the fun practical work is pulled in.

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), also known as corticotropin, is a polypeptide hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland. It stimulates the adrenal cortex to release corticosteroids like cortisol in response to biological stress. ACTH acts through cell surface receptors on adrenal cortical cells, causing the synthesis and secretion of glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and androgens. Primary hyperparathyroidism, caused by excess parathyroid hormone release from enlarged or abnormal parathyroid glands, is the most common cause of hypercalcemia, or too much calcium in the blood. Other causes include adrenal gland failure, prolonged bed rest,

Maintaining open communication and involvement between partners is emphasized throughout the process.
The flipped classroom model reverses traditional teaching methods by having students view video lectures outside of class and complete homework and projects during class time with the guidance of the instructor. It aims to engage students more actively in their learning through hands-on activities and collaboration. In the example scenario, a student in a flipped food gardening course watches pre-recorded lectures and takes online quizzes before class. In class, he works with his team on a project designing an edible garden, discussing concepts from the videos with the instructor and identifying plant diseases. The flipped model shifts the focus from passive lecture learning to giving students more responsibility for actively applying and mastering the course content.
The flipped classroom model reverses traditional teaching by having students gain exposure to new material outside of class, usually via short video lectures, and doing homework in class with the support of the instructor. This allows class time to focus on hands-on activities, projects, discussions and applying the concepts from the videos. Some benefits are that students can learn at their own pace by rewatching videos, and class time can be used to solve problems and collaborate with peers under the guidance of the instructor. However, it requires more preparation from instructors to create videos and activities, and some students may prefer the traditional lecture format.

This document provides an overview of blended learning. It defines blended learning as a mix of online and in-person learning. Various blended learning models are described, including rotation models where students rotate between online and in-person modalities to learn the same material. Benefits of blended learning include increased student engagement, easier differentiation of instruction, and development of modern skills. The document also provides case studies of different schools implementing blended learning through flipped classroom and flexible learning models.
The document describes the flipped classroom model and addresses some criticisms of it. It proposes an experiential learning model for the flipped classroom that addresses these criticisms. The model incorporates video lectures and online content within a larger framework of learning activities based on experiential learning theories. It involves four phases: 1) an experiential activity to engage students, 2) students learning concepts through videos and online resources, 3) students reflecting on their understanding, and 4) applying their knowledge through real-world projects or problems. The goal is for content to support rather than drive learning by giving students control over content while using class time for hands-on activities.
This document provides guidance on implementing a flipped classroom approach for online teaching and learning. It defines a flipped classroom as delivering instructional content online before class so class time can be used for hands-on activities and collaboration. The document outlines best practices for the pre-class, in-class, and post-class phases and recommends several free digital tools that can help implement each phase, such as Khan Academy for pre-class videos, Google Classroom for in-class assignments, and YouTube for student project sharing. The goal of a flipped classroom is to actively engage students in applying their new knowledge during class.

The document discusses the flipped classroom pedagogy. It defines flipped classroom as reversing traditional teaching where students gain first exposure to new material outside of class through videos or readings, and class time is used for hands-on learning like problem solving and discussions. This shifts the focus from passive learning to active learning and higher-order thinking skills. Key aspects of flipped classrooms include providing first exposure materials for students beforehand, assessing understanding, and using class time for activities that develop cognitive skills. Benefits include improved outcomes, efficiency, interactive lectures, data-driven instruction, and mastery-based learning.
This document presents information about flipped classrooms including:
- A flipped classroom moves activities like lectures outside of class time and uses class time for hands-on work and discussions.
- Benefits include personalized learning, one-on-one teacher time, and students learning at their own pace. Challenges include reliance on student preparation and increased screen time.
- Steps for implementing a flipped classroom include getting buy-in, creating online resources, managing the classroom, providing technology training, and assigning content for homework.
- An example lesson plan is provided that focuses on gas exchange in the lungs and uses a storytelling activity in groups.
This document discusses blended learning and how learning platforms can help teachers implement blended learning models in their classrooms. It provides examples of how four different teachers have implemented blended learning, including flipping their classroom where students learn theory at home through videos and do assignments in class, using station rotation where students rotate between different learning stations, an approach called Learning by Design where students help decide what to learn and how to show their learning, and using online resources to teach physical education skills. The document outlines several benefits of blended learning and models of blended learning that teachers can use.
This document summarizes Sheila Majask's experience taking a Blended Learning in the Classroom (BLiC) course and implementing blended learning in her own classroom. The BLiC course introduced Majask to new information and models of blended learning. It challenged her to immediately apply what she learned. As a result, Majask classified her classroom as a lab rotation model and began using Blackboard as her learning management system. She also learned about the importance of managing time, accessibility, assessments, and establishing policies in a blended environment. Overall, implementing blended learning has caused Majask to reevaluate her teaching practices and engage students more with technology.
Catalyst Charter Middle School in Ripon, WI opened in 2012 with a project-based learning curriculum focused on digital citizenship, green futures, and STEM. The school implements a flipped classroom approach where students watch video lessons at home and class time is used for projects, collaboration, and personalized instruction. Teachers create engaging videos using tools like Jing, Screencast-O-Matic, and Educreations to introduce topics and homework. The school emphasizes using class time for deeper learning through practice, application, and making connections rather than memorization. Resources for flipped lessons are shared through the school's Wikispaces page, Pinterest board, and blog.
7 Things You Should Know About Flipped Classrooms - EducauseLuciano Sathler
1. A flipped classroom reverses the traditional lecture and homework elements, having students watch short video lectures at home and devote class time to exercises, projects, and discussions. This allows class time to focus on active learning.
2. In a common flipped classroom model, students watch video lectures outside of class and complete quizzes. In class, instructors lead discussions and help students apply what they learned through hands-on activities and problem solving.
3. Several colleges and universities have implemented flipped classroom techniques in courses like video production, accounting, physics, and more. This allows more flexible learning and moves instruction to an active, collaborative model.
The document provides an overview of the flipped classroom model compared to the traditional classroom model. It explains that in a flipped classroom, direct instruction from lectures is moved outside of the classroom through videos or other online resources. This allows class time to be used for interactive learning activities where the teacher guides students as they apply concepts. The document lists online tools that can be used like Edmodo and wikispaces for students to access lectures and interact online. It emphasizes that educational technology and classroom activities are important elements of flipped learning that influence the learning environment.
Learning in the Open: Faculty and Student Perspectives of blogging to Support...jsnugent
This document summarizes two teaching vignettes that used blogs and the open web for student reflection and identity exploration. In the first vignette, an elementary education course used a blog for students to reflect on their teaching experiences and development of personal, situated, and professional identities. In the second vignette, a graduate course used a learning journal blog to build community and engage students in new media. Both experienced challenges around student privacy and time commitment, but blogging provided opportunities for active learning and preparation for future faculty roles.
The document discusses the flipped classroom model of education. It defines flipped classroom as an approach where students learn new content through online videos and lectures at home, then do homework and projects in class with teacher guidance. This reverses the traditional model of lectures at school and homework at home. The document outlines several benefits of flipped classroom for students and teachers, such as allowing students to learn at their own pace and freeing up class time for more personalized instruction. It also describes various flipped classroom models and discusses implications of the approach.
The document discusses the flipped classroom model of education. It defines the flipped classroom as one where lectures are recorded and viewed by students as homework, allowing class time to be used for interactive activities and discussions. The goals are to make learning more interactive and personalized to individual student needs and pace. Research shows students in flipped classrooms perform better and are more satisfied. The flipped model enhances learning by allowing students to learn at their own pace and engage in customized activities during class.
The Practical Guide to Flipping Your Classroom - An eBook by the Panopto Vide...Panopto
In the last decade, academic institutions at all levels have begun introducing non-traditional pedagogies that combine traditional brick-and-mortar teaching with online, on-demand learning.
Among all of the approaches to this “blended learning,” one has garnered more media attention, reported more tangible results, and gained the support of more educators than any other — the flipped classroom.
In just the last four years, flipping the classroom has evolved from an obscure experiment to a mainstream model for improving the student learning experience in universities and school districts around the world.
But just what is a flipped classroom?
How do teachers prepare to flip a class?
How do they create flipped lecture materials and structure in-class time?
And how do they know if all their efforts were worth it?
Just in time for the new school year, we’ve developed the definitive guidebook for any teacher, professor, or administrator interested in flipping their classrooms.
The Practical Guide to Flipping Your Classroom covers everything from what questions educators can expect when flipping a class, to how to plan for interactive learning sessions and even what to look for in video equipment.

The document discusses the need for teachers to have access to examples of alternative teaching practices through digital libraries of lesson videos. It describes how teachers were surprised to learn from international studies that there is little variation in how subjects are taught in the US. The LessonLab project aims to create online libraries of lesson videos linked to other teaching resources to help teachers learn from examples of different practices and improve their own teaching over time, as the medical profession has done through accumulating and sharing knowledge.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Benefits and drawbacks seen in replacing lectures with on-demand video
By Katie Ash
A growing number of educators are working to turn
learning on its head by replacing traditional
classroom lectures with video tutorials, an
approach popularly called the "flipped classroom."
Interest in that teaching method was in full view this
summer at the International Society for Technology
in Education annual conference in San Diego, where
almost every session on the topic was filled to
capacity.
The movement was inspired partly by the work of
Salman Khan, who created a library of free online
tutoring videos spanning a variety of academic
subjects, known as the Khan Academy, which many
view as a touchstone of the flipped-classroom
technique. But, much like the Khan Academy itself,
the approach is attracting increasing scrutiny—and
criticism—among educators and researchers.
The term "flipping" comes from the idea of swapping
homework for class work. Students typically are
assigned the video-watching for homework, freeing
up class time that used to be spent listening to
lectures for hands-on activities and application of
knowledge, which used to serve as homework.
However, as most educators who have begun to use
the technique are quick to say, there are a multitude
of ways to "flip" a classroom. Some teachers assign
a video for homework, while others allow students to
watch those videos in class. Still others make videos
for the lesson, but do not require students to watch
them at all, giving students a variety of resources
and allowing them to choose what they utilize to
learn the required information.

But just as the Khan Academy has recently come under fire
from some in the education blogosphere for what critics say
is flawed pedagogy, the flipped-classroom technique has also
garnered criticism from some who believe that flipping is
simply a high-tech version of an antiquated instructional
method: the lecture.
"My concern is that if you're still relying on lecture as your
primary mode of getting content across, … you haven't done
anything to shift the type of learning that's occurring," said
Andrew Miller, an educational consultant who works with the
Alexandria, Va.-based professional-development group ASCD
and the Novato, Calif.-based Buck Institute of Education,
which works to promote project-based learning in classrooms.
"That's not how all of us learn," he said. "Just because you
flipped your classroom doesn't mean your students will watch
the videos. How are you engaging your kids?"
Ramsey Musallam, a chemistry teacher at Sacred Heart
Cathedral Preparatory, a private Catholic high school in San
Francisco, shares Mr. Miller's concerns.
"Everyone initially thought that [flipping] was an
innovative way [to teach] because we're so rooted
in this idea that students don't like homework," he
said. "However, when you step back a little bit,
what you're looking at is simply a time-shifting tool
that is grounded in the same didactic, lecture-based
philosophy. It's really a better version of a bad
thing."
Mr. Musallam, who is also an adjunct professor at
the University of San Francisco's college of
education, began flipping his classroom in 2006, but
after noticing little difference in student learning
despite the extra in-class time for labs and hands-on activities, he shifted his perspective.
He still uses flipping as an instructional technique, but instead of giving students the video
initially, they first go through an exploratory, guided inquiry-based period. Next, the students
receive basic instructions and materials to complete lab work and observe the phenomena they
are studying.
Only then, "when I feel that they can't form any more ideas on their own," does Mr. Musallam
make videos to address misconceptions and provide instruction, he said.
Delaying the direct instruction as much as possible increases students' curiosity, he said.

3. Tips for Flipping
1. Don’t get hung up on creating your own
videos. While some believe that students
prefer to see their own teacher in the
videos, others recommend harnessing the
educational content that is already
available on the Web. Resources such as
the Khan Academy, YouTube EDU, and PBS
can provide well-produced video content for
your students.
2. Be thoughtful about what parts of your
class you decide to “flip” and when.
Deciding to flip part of your lesson will not
automatically make it a better lesson. You
have to be intentional about when to flip
and clear about what the benefit will be for
students.
3. If possible, find a partner to create
videos with. Students enjoy hearing the
back-and-forth conversation of two
teachers, especially when one teacher plays
the role of mentor while the other plays
the role of learner.
4. Address the issue of access early.
Survey your students to find out what
technology they have at home, and find
alternatives for students who lack Internet
access. Alternatives may mean burning the
videos onto DVDs or creating lists of places
where students can go online.
5. Find a way to engage students in the
videos. Just having students watch videos
instead of listening to lectures doesn’t
guarantee that they will be more engaged.
Using the flipping technique is not necessarily negative, Mr. Musallam said, but teachers should
be realistic about what it really is.
"I say keep the flip alive, but lower the volume and think about it like we think about
anything," he said. "It's a thing you do in the context of an overarching pedagogy," not the
pedagogy itself, he said.
Sharing Questions
Jonathan Bergmann, the lead technology facilitator for the 600-student K-8 Kenilworth school
district in Illinois, is considered one of the pioneers of the flipped movement. He and his former
fellow teacher Aaron Sams began using the flipping technique in 2006 at the 950-student
Woodland Park High School in Woodland Park, Colo., to teach chemistry.
The pair created videos of their lectures and posted
them online for their chemistry and Advanced
Placement chemistry classes during the 2007-08
school year. They required the students to take notes
on the videos and come to class with one thoughtful
question to share.
The teachers found that the technique allowed them
to spend more time with students one-on-one and to
provide just-in-time intervention when students
needed it. They also noticed an uptick in test scores
in the students using the flipped-class technique.
Soon they began visiting other schools that were
curious about the method and hosting conferences on
flipping. They recently co-wrote a book called Flip
Your Classroom: Reach Every Student in Every Class
Every Day, published in July of 2012 by the
International Society for Technology in Education and
the ASCD.
"You need to figure out the answer to the question:
What's the best use of your face-to-face instruction
time?" Mr. Bergmann said.
After the first year, he and Mr. Sams made
adjustments to the flipped classroom, moving from
what they call the "traditional" flip to the "mastery
based" flipped classroom.
In the mastery-based model, students are not
required to watch videos at home on a specific day.
Instead, they are given an outline for each unit that
includes all the resources they might need for each
objective, including videos, worksheets, and textbook
excerpts. They can then work through the material at

4. Requiring students to take notes on the
videos, ask questions about the videos, or
engage in discussion about them will help
ensure that they watch and absorb the
material.

their own pace, even taking tests and quizzes and
performing labs when they are ready rather than as
a whole class.
Using technology to create test-question banks that
could be randomized, so that no two students receive
the same test and may receive completely different
questions altogether, made the mastery flipped model possible, said Mr. Bergmann.
'Self-Paced Became No Pace'
Deb Wolf, a high school instructional coach for the 24,000-student Sioux Falls district in South
Dakota, also uses the mastery technique. Instead of letting students have complete control over
their pace, though, she sets deadlines to keep everyone on track.
"For students who had not been challenged in the classroom, this was an opportunity for them
to just fly," she said. "For others, it was an opportunity to take the time that they needed to
move slower. And for some, self-paced became no pace," and teachers had to step in and
create deadlines.
Ms. Wolf began flipping her chemistry class at Roosevelt High School in the spring of 2008 after
hearing about the technique from Mr. Bergmann and Mr. Sams. During the 2008-09 school
year, all the chemistry teachers in her school flipped their classrooms, and the next year, the
district applied for a federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant, which Ms. Wolf
facilitated, that provided professional development for the district's 35 math and science
teachers around technology in the classroom.
"Most of them took away from that grant the idea that they could use technology to help
provide students opportunities to master content in a variety of ways so that time became the
variable, … not learning," she said. "We didn't have 35 teachers that all suddenly flipped their
classrooms, but the take-away was that by harnessing technology, they provided students the
opportunity to master what they didn't master the first time."
Still, engaging reluctant learners continues to be a challenge, said Ms. Wolf.
"[Our teachers] realized that we were dragging [such learners] along. They may have been in
class, but they weren't engaged. I know that we weren't meeting all of their needs in the
traditional classroom, and I'm not sure that we were meeting their needs in a flipped classroom
either," she said.
Like Mr. Musallam, Ms. Wolf emphasized that flipping
is one approach in a wider framework of instructional
methods to help reach students.
"You can't just hand the flipped classroom off to an
ineffective teacher and say you're going to transform
the classroom," she said. "It's not going to make a
bad teacher a good teacher."

5. rural central Illinois will try their hands at the flipped technique when the entire school flips this
fall.
In a district where 65 percent of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch,
Superintendent Patrick Twomey hopes that flipping the school will help address the inequalities
that hamper the high school's population of students deemed at risk academically.
"[In the current model], one student goes home to educated parents who can help him with his
homework, while another student goes home and gets no help," Mr. Twomey said. "In the
flipped model, both of those kids come back to the classroom after receiving the content, and
now all of the help with the homework is given by the expert in the field."
