The Professional Educator: Approaches to Teaching and Learning
Conceptual Understanding:
A flipped classroom allows the teachers to individualise learning while creating an engaging learning environment that fosters collaborative learning practices.
Action plans to implement the ‘flip’ require attention to detail.

Jonathan Bergmann: “The flipped classroom is not about the video, it’s about the active engaged stuff you can do in your class.”
Restructuring Classroom Time
Reverse Instruction: Dan Pink and Karl’s ‘Fisch Flip
Flipped Classroom 2.0: Competency Learning With Videos by Katrina Schwartz
Using class time for active, hands-on, collaborative activities is at the heart of what makes the flip successful. Here are two good resources from Cornell University’s Center for Teaching Excellence:
Collaborative Learning: Group Work
Active Learning
You may find that your approach to instruction shifts to encompass more of the following categories of teaching:
• Inquiry based: Students learn through a process of investigation
• Conceptually focused: Learning focuses on the broader underlying principles, rather than procedures
• Contextualized: Learning is situated in place and time
• Collaborative: Students work together to construct meaning
• Differentiated: Learning meets the needs of students at their ability levels
• Informed by assessment: Teaching changes in response to assessment in order to address student mastery and deficiencies.

Approaches to Teaching and Learning and Action Plan
Activity 1
Using this template, prepare an action plan with definite dates and responsibilities to implement the ‘flip’
Template - Action Plan
Activity 2
Create a Google Form or use Survey Monkey to evaluate effectiveness of the Flip. This survey will be one you can use back at school after you and your colleagues have tried to implement Flipped Learning.
Here is an example of a Google Form with guiding questions.
