Flipped Learning - 9781564843449

Bergmann, a former science teacher who writes and speaks about flipped learning, and Sams, a science educator who conducts workshops on student-centered learning environments, continue their previous book, Flip Your Classroom: Reach Every Student in Every Class Every Day, with this guide that takes the flipped classroom idea to the next step: flipped learning. They note that the flipped classroom is still teacher-centered, show how flipped learning centers on individual students, and use stories to describe the experiences of individual teachers in transforming their classrooms to flipped learning. They emphasize asking what the best use of face-to-face time with students is, particularly incorporating learning activities and relevant experiences, and demonstrate how these teachers used class time in different ways to create flipped learning at different grade levels and subjects, such as science, physical education, and English. They also describe the flipped learning model and the components of its environment; misconceptions about the flipped classroom; and the importance of student-teacher relationships, content, and curiosity.
