Flipped Learning Classroom

The Need for Flipped Learning

Flipped learning turns the traditional educational approach on its head, with teachers using class time to review content that students learn outside of class. Flipped classrooms should be comprised of several areas to help teachers mentor students. A dedicated area for online instruction allows students to brush up on study material or use applications that reinforce lesson content. A teacher-led instruction area gives students the chance to ask questions or offer thoughts that they might not be able to express in student groups. A collaborative area allows students to arrange themselves in smaller groups for discussion or to work on projects.

Requirements for a Great Flipped Learning Classroom

For Students

The best flipped classroom includes a technology center where students can access the internet on devices. Tables should include a wire management system like grommet holes and headphones should be readily available. Ergonomic seating keeps students comfortable as they work. Lightweight or mobile collaborative tables should be used to accommodate group work.

For Teachers

An area dedicated to teacher-led discussion is essential for presenting lesson material or instructions. There should be spacious walkways that allow the teacher to move freely between students working on devices or in groups, and an easy-to-use storage system to make distributing and collecting supplies quick and easy.

For Administrators

The flipped learning space should be comprised of products selected with the specific needs of their school in mind. All products must be available at the time they are needed. The delivery must arrive on time and installation should be quick and efficient.
