The guide school leaders need to reap the rewards of education’s most exciting new trend.
Flipping classrooms—using class time for hands-on learning and "off loading" the lecture portion of lessons to teacher-created videos or other technology presentations assigned as homework—is taking schools by storm. But like all hot trends, it is important to apply this innovation intelligently, especially at the system-wide level.
This book makes a persuasive case to leaders for the potential benefits of flipping. Backed by powerful data and compelling anecdotes, this book covers:
- Data on positive student outcomes in terms of achievement and motivation
- How flipping gives teachers more time to work with students one-on-one and encourage peer learning
- Ways flipping can benefit teacher learning and collaboration
- Why flipping encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning
- How flipping engages students in 21st century skills
- Ways flipping is budget and resource-friendly
With this book, you can take a major step towards the future of education, utilizing technology and advanced understanding of how students learn best.
