Flipped Learning for English Instruction

This book gives good ideas to help ELA teachers who are considering flipping the classroom. There are good examples and strong ideas.

Short book. Has some good sites to check out. Seems like a bit of a plug for their other book though. There were a few times when they say "if you want to know more about flipped/blended learning, check out our OTHER book"

Très intéressant. Les modèles de la classe inversée donnent beaucoup d'idées à mettre en pratique dans la classe de langues.

I have been flipping my science classroom for many years. Most of the methods I use have come from either reading Aaron and Jon's books or interacting with them at different educational conferences (e.g. FlipCon15). It is true that their books are short in length but I believe that they are not interested in giving you all the educational theory pertaining to flipped learning and then back it up with reams of data. Instead, they provide you with what you need to get you into the classroom so that you can try flipping your class. It is like your students. You don't tell them everything but instead you tell them enough so that they can then be in charge of their own learning.I teach science at the high school level; however, besides the book on Science, I have purchased the Math, English and Social Studies books. Even though there is some redundancy, especially at the beginning of the book, I have learned new things from every book and have successfully taken ideas from all four books into my classroom.

The flipped classroom model has been quickly spread in many classrooms around the world. I implemented it with my students four years ago and I have been constantly learning from its creators: both Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams. As a teacher of English in southern Spain, I must confess that this book is great to know and learn from other colleagues around the world who have developed the flipped classroom model to compare and contrast their experiences with it. On the other hand, it's very welcome that the flipped classroom experiences are presented to several subjects and they are introduced by everyday teachers who have faced different problems, but ending in success.Bergmann and Sams show us once more their implication and interest not only in the model, but also (and most importantly) in students. We should not look in the other way; education requires student-centre methologies, and the flipped classroom series will help us all to achieve our goals: true learning.

Okay. All information can be gained online though.

It’s easy and encouraging reading, but I would have thought it was more practical. Implementation cases may not be sufficiently explained.
