Are you looking for guidance for incorporating flipped techniques in your classroom? The basic principle of flipped learning involves providing direct instruction for the individual outside of class so that there is more strategic use of in-class time for group work. Our Flipped Learning for Elementary Education course explores practical ways that educators can incorporate this model into their classrooms. Within this course, we’ll cover how to teach different flipped subjects, incorporating technology, and how to provide differentiated instruction.
After completing this course, you should be able to:
- Recall techniques for implementing flipping learning in a classroom
- Recognize ways to effectively plan lessons and how to provide individualized instruction
- Identify ways to flip math, science, social studies, and language arts lessons
- Describe principles behind flipped-mastery, project-based learning, and student-created content

Flipped Mastery and Projects
One of the goals of education is to encourage students to take ownership of their learning. The final module of this course explores ways teachers can create learning environments where students truly master the flipped learning concepts with engaging lesson plans. We’ll discuss project-based learning techniques and how to use gamification for subject mastery.
