Flipped learning: practitioner guide

This guide and accompanying materials provide guidance to schools on how to implement flipped learning and the potential benefits of this approach. Flipped learning involves using digital technology, such as video, to provide direct instruction on new concepts outside of the classroom. As students come to lessons with a preliminary understanding of the topic, this frees up class time for the teacher to focus on other beneficial learning activities. Students can then use lessons to build their understanding through discussion, collaborative activities and practising skills. It can lead to students moving through content at their own pace, covering more, and in greater depth. It also fosters independent learning skills, making students aware of how they move through material, what they find difficult and what they excel at.
