How to Flip A Classroom

At its core, the goal of the flipped classroom is to create a learning environment that centers around the needs of students. Rather than rely on teachers as “the sage on the stage,” flipped classes empower students to learn at their own pace. Watching recorded lectures gives students the ability to review as many times as needed in order to better understand difficult concepts, and come to class prepared with specific questions about the concept for the teacher to answer. On the flip side, students that already have a good grasp on the material can work ahead if desired.
