Flipped-Mastery Learning
The Flipped Classroom introduces educators to an instructional method that allows students to receive a personalized education with opportunities for individualized support. This revolutionary system promotes self-directed learning by changing the content that was traditionally presented through lectures in the classroom to independent review at home. Students will have the freedom and flexibility to watch and rewind videos for maximum retention of the lessons. This allows the teacher to provide a more engaging, pro-active, and adapted approach to the practice and interaction they have with their students during their classroom sessions. Students will discover why the flipped classroom works, what strategies are effective, how to design a flipped classroom lesson, and much more!
