Updated: Jun 29, 2020
Do you want to stop taking papers home to grade?
You can achieve it in a flipped classroom.
In a flipped classroom, you can get a lot of time back since you are not delivering direct instruction.
Flipped classroom frees up class time for interactions and formative assessments with students.

○Getting valuable information for yourself about who has mastered what skills and concepts
It gives you the power to differentiate for each individual students based on the feedbacks.

Using a flipped classroom model alongside low-stakes retrieval practice completely transforms how class time gets used. Shifting the direct instruction to pre-class preparation frees up so much space for interactive problem-solving, immediate feedback, and deeper peer discussions. Having a simple assessment helper or quick exit ticket setup at the start of class makes it easy to spot common misconceptions before diving into the main activity. It turns data into something actionable in real time rather than an afterthought post-unit. I wonder, do you ever encounter resistance from students who aren't used to doing the heavy lifting before coming to class, and how do you help them adjust to that shift in responsibility?
