Assigning Homework and Providing Practice:
The Flipped Classroom

The flipped classroom describes a reversed teaching model in which instruction is viewed at home through interactive, teacher-created video. "Homework” is then moved to the classroom. The posting of video lectures allows teachers to spend more 1:1 time with each student, giving students a greater opportunity to ask questions and work through problems with the guidance of their teachers and the support of their peers.

Benefits of this method include:

• It  gives teachers more time to spend working directly with individual students
• It builds stronger student/teacher and peer relationships
• It offers a way for teachers to share information with a wide range of  community members easily
• It produces students the ability to work through lessons at their own pace to strive for mastery of a  topic
• It creates a collaborative learning environment in the classroom
