I am very interested in making The Flipped Classroom a major initiative at ESA.  The benefits of a flipped classroom are many and varied. The concept of flipping makes particular sense at a school like ESA where there are so many “interruptions” to day-to-day classroom life, and where we have so many students involved in activities outside the school in both the short and the long term.  Refer to the dedicated Flipped Classroom page inside this blog for more information about both the pedagogical advantages of Flipping the Classroom and the technological tools necessary to support a flipped classroom.
