Flipped Classroom

  

Flipped classrooms are a great way to create opportunities for the teachers to assist students one-on-one and have the students create independence and researching skills. This is a great way to accommodate all different types of learners. Children can study and learn at their own pace, so that slow learners can take all the time they need and receive assistance, while quick learners can complete the assignment and move one once they are finished. Flipped classrooms must constantly be changed and tweaked for each specific class. It causes the students to form great organization skills and collaboration skills. The students are learning how to learn on their own, only asking the teacher for assistance when extra help is needed and the student has done all the digging they can do. Complete module, lesson, discussion boards, and notes can be completed outside the classroom.

Some advantages to this is increase in student engagement, strengthening team-based skills, it is more personalized to the students’ needs, and it builds friendships and collaboration between faculty. Flipped classrooms work best with smaller classes, but can be ineffective if the teacher does not properly plan the lessons or put the time into it. It is easier to start with one subject to get the hang of it. Motivate students to do their work by attaching points and letting them know that they cannot participate in class if they do not do their work before. Another advantage is that the parents now get to not only see what their kids are learning, but get to even watch the lessons being taught. Especially with the parents help, this helps kids build management, organization, and comprehension skills.
