CREC panel discusses 'Flipped Classrooms' at Watkinson

Flipped learning happens when a teacher's instruction is delivered outside of the traditional class time - via video such as YouTube. 
Students can watch the video as many times as they need and then come to class ready to jump into the lesson, answer questions, work on collaborative projects, and do homework. Teachers are embracing Flipped Learning in elementary and secondary schools and it has been a huge success at Watkinson School.

Watkinson School is Hartford's oldest independent day school serving students in grades 6-12/PG.  Their next open house is December 4th at 6pm.
