It’s Flipped Learning Day, an occasion to celebrate the education strategy that Jon Bergmann and Aaron Sams developed to deepen learning and make classrooms more student-centered.

In a nutshell, flipping your classroom means asking students to study the material on their own time — often by viewing recorded lectures or using other digital materials — in order to free up class time for hands-on learning, small-group projects and one-on-one support. After all, that’s where the magic of learning really happens — in the classroom, where students can ask questions, offer solutions and develop their critical-thinking skills.
