INCLUSIVE AND INNOVATIVE SCHOOL
What is it?
"Flipped learning is a pedagogical approach in which direct instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual learning space, and the resulting group space is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment , where the educator guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter"
Flipped Learning Network (FLN), (2014)
The Four Pillars of F-L-I-P
Traditional education
Teacher lectures first and students go home and study by themselves
Teacher as instructor
Limited participation of students
Delivery of new knowledge only at school
Practice and consolidation at home
Flipped Classroom
The students look at the content at home first and then in group space practise and apply content with guidance.
Teacher as a guide during practice and application
Active participation of students
Delivery of new knowledge at home
Practice, application and consolidation at school
In traditional learning, students acquire knowledge in a classroom context and are then sent away to synthesize, analyze and evaluate this after the class. In the flipped classroom, students acquire knowledge before the class and use classroom time to practice and apply concepts and ideas through interaction with peers and teachers. After the class, students reflect upon the feedback they have received and use this to broaden their learning.
By providing students with the material to gain a basic level of knowledge and understanding before class, classroom time can be used to deepen learning and develop higher-level cognitive skills. One of the core objectives of flipped learning is to move students away from passive learning and towards active learning where students engage in collaborative activity, peer learning and problem-based learning. Within this context, the role of the teacher shifts towards that of facilitator and coach by empowering students to take control of their own learning. The use of technology further enriches the flipped learning process and promotes skills that are essential for 21st-century learning.

Ways for students to demonstrate mastery of content
Learning Culture
Learner-centered approach, active involvement and interaction
Learners in charge of their learning-Discovery learning
Teacher as a guide on the side.
Intentional Content
Which content should be delivered outside the classroom
Which content should be delivered in the classroom, to make best use of class time
Professional Educator
Constructive feedback based on ongoing formative assessment

Steps to achieve flipped classroom
-
getting students, parents and administrators on board with the idea
-
choose resources (videos, spreadsheets, quizzes, presentations, devices, etc.)
-
classroom management for the flipped class model
-
technology training - teachers should know how to use different services for flipped classroom (create videos, playlists, etc.)
-
assign content for homework
-
work on problems in class with teacher acting as a moderator
-
independent learning - students learn to critically study content at their own pace
-
peer tutor - pairing advanced students with ones that have problems with content
