Flipped learning is an instructional approach that typically involves students watching videos and completing online activities as homework, and then engaging in applied learning during class time. Teachers flip their classes because they know their students will participate in more meaningful activities and take ownership for their learning. Flipping allows teachers to provide more differentiated instruction and feedback. These nine basic guidelines will help you flip a unit in your class.
1. Learn as much as you can. There is no one right way to flip. How you flip will depend on the grade level and content you teach and the technology you have available. Talk with colleagues and check out the resources on the Flipped Learning Network (http://flippedlearning.org) to learn more about how teachers flip their class.
2. Involve your support staff. Strong support from your principal and instructional technologist is important for innovative instruction to be implemented successfully. Ask your instructional technologist and other
teachers to share resources and technology to help you flip your class.
3. Choose a unit. To get started, choose a unit that you know well and that is relatively easy for students to grasp so you can focus on setting up and managing a flipped class.

Eight Tips For A Successful Start: Teaching Special Ed
I nervously stood outside the front door of the school and waited to greet my first class. A teacher brought a little girl over to me and said, “This is Olivia. Hold on tight—she runs.” I had tried to prepare myself for this instant, determined to make an impact on my new students. Despite my preparation, I was overwhelmed by the first day of school. These eight tips highlight what I wish I had known that first day as a Special Education teacher.
No Interference, Please!
English language learners (ELLs) often struggle with grammar. When working with ELLs, one effective strategy is focusing on first language (L1) interference. Teachers who understand how an L1 can interfere with second language acquisition can target grammar trouble spots with which students struggle. Through pedagogical grammar instruction, teachers also can prioritize which grammar trouble spots to teach based on those most likely to impede comprehension, and depending on the communicative context (Hinkel, 2016). Teachers then can put ELLs on a path to success by helping them gain greater control of sentence structure, subject–verb agreement, prepositions, and articles.
Teacher Listening To Enhance Learning: Five Strategies For Success
Epictetus (1907/1980) once said, “We have two ears and one mouth, so we can listen twice as much as we speak.” However, when preservice teachers are asked to picture a teacher and describe what they see, they typically describe the teacher standing in the front of the classroom speaking to a group of attentive students. Our classroom experience reinforced the practice that students should sit and listen while teachers stand and talk.

FLIP On The LAMP: TIPS For Lighting The Way For ELLs In The Flipped Classroom
The concept of flipped classrooms has been the focus of a significant number of recent articles in teaching journals (see the KDP Record, April–June 2015) and online. In a flipped classroom “students are introduced to content at home, and practice working through it at school” (TeachThought, 2014). For example, students might watch a brief prerecorded video at home as direct instruction on the concepts or topics and then apply that information the next day in classroom activities. Therefore, the amount of time spent learning is extended.
