Flipped Classroom Model

The Flipped Classroom Model is an approach to teaching that involves students being exposed to
instruction prior to coming to class. The teacher makes a video of instruction and posts it so that students
have access before the next lesson. Students have access to the video at any time and can spend more
class time actually applying the new knowledge. This method is very nontraditional and allows the students
to take over the learning while the teacher acts as a guide. Teachers can choose to present their videos
individually or as a set of modules. The Flipped Classroom Model helps struggling students, increases
teacher-student interactions, works with students of all ability levels, changes classroom management,
educates parents, is a great tool for absent teachers and students, and is compatible with all learning styles. 

Flipped classroom models change classroom management by fostering noise and collaboration. Students
remain engaged and find the flipped model to be fun and remain eager to learn. You have the time and
opportunities to redirect those students that need it and provide additional structure.

There are 8 different variations of the flipped classroom model so it makes it easy to choose which one is
right for you and your classroom! You’ve got the Standard Inverted, Micro Flipped, Discussion Oriented,
Demonstration-Based, Faux-Flipped, Group-Based, Virtual Flipped, and Role Reversal. Many think that if
you teach students who do not have internet access or access to a device at home that you can’t implement
the flipped classroom, but you most definitely can! There is a variation perfect for that situation in which
students access your instructional videos on computers at school before meeting with you in small groups
to discuss, ask questions, and apply that knowledge.
