The Flipped Classroom - Education Next : Education Next: "The Flipped ClassroomOnline instruction at home frees class time for learning
By Bill Tucker
Four years ago, in the shadow of Colorado’s Pike’s Peak, veteran Woodland Park High School chemistry teachers Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams stumbled onto an idea. Struggling to find the time to reteach lessons for absent students, they plunked down $50, bought software that allowed them to record and annotate lessons, and posted them online. Absent students appreciated the opportunity to see what they missed. But, surprisingly, so did students who hadn’t missed class. They, too, used the online material, mostly to review and reinforce classroom lessons. And, soon, Bergmann and Sams realized they had the opportunity to radically rethink how they used class time.
It’s called “the flipped classroom.” While there is no one model, the core idea is to flip the common instructional approach: With teacher-created videos and interactive lessons, instruction that used to occur in class is now accessed at home, in advance of class. Class becomes the place to work through problems, advance concepts, and engage in collaborative learning. Most importantly, all aspects of instruction can be rethought to best maximize the scarcest learning resource—time.

The Benefits of Flipped Classroom Learning
- Fostering better relationships, greater student engagement, and higher levels of motivation.
- Creating videos forces instructors to pay attention to the details and nuances of instruction—the pace, the examples used, the visual representation, and the development of aligned assessment practices.
- Course redesign offers an opportunity to reengage students and improve their motivation
- Instructional videos are powerful tools for teachers to create content, share resources, and improve practice.
