So I have been really weary of this entire "flipped classroom" ideology overtaking education right now. There are multiple issues to get around before it can take shape. BUT...all of the resources out there have really got me thinking that there may be something to this. It is raising test scores, it allows teachers to individualize instruction, and students seem to enjoy it if it is done "correctly" (as in, not just replacing lecturing at school with lecturing at home). Our principal is pushing it, our teacher of the year just received an award for implementing it...
...could there be something to this??
So in these next few months, I am going to be researching how to implement this strategy in a social studies setting (which is what I am doing currently). I will share interesting resources that I find and document my journey as I find my way into a flipped classroom. I already model the flipped method in some chapters in US History, but to do a full-fledged implementation may be a little tougher. Any suggestions in the comments would be helpful.
