Flipping the classroom is an easy model to get wrong.
Choice is an essential component of a flipped classroom. The
focus is on students’ needs. As one science teacher noted,
“Students are encouraged to make decisions, question, succeed
and fail in a supportive, dynamic learning environment . . .
Students are given an opportunity to defend their choices as a
partner in learning rather than a subordinate” (Blair, 2012, pp.
2-3). Flipping the classroom can be an effective instructional
strategy for differentiating instruction for gifted and talented
students. The strategy is not for every teacher or every
classroom, but it a viable option for many educators who wish
to differentiate gifted students’ learning experience to maximize
talent development.
