With all this talk about differentiation in the classroom,
teachers are searching for ways to have more one on one time
with students. Time that is needed to support tiered lessons,
collaborative learning, enrichment and remediation. There is a
promising new classroom model called “flipping your classroom“
that is creating just that, more time for teacher interaction
and collaboration with students. In this model, students watch
video lessons before coming to class, leaving the teacher with
more time in class to differentiate lessons and allow students
to work collaboratively. There has been some very positive
feedback from students, teachers and parents alike. Teachers say
they’re putting more responsibility on students for their
learning, coming to class prepared, and working collaboratively
with peers. This model has also make classrooms using the new
model more interactive.
