What is a flipped classroom? Maybe you've heard of it, but don't know where to start? One year ago, when the world seemed to shut down in 2020, I was in your shoes. Flipping my classroom was one of the best decisions I ever made for my classroom!

This Flipped Classroom Parent / Student - BUNDLE resource is a great way to start your flipping journey! The bundle includes a presentation, handout, AND notes page that gives a brief run-down of what a flipped classroom is and what it will look like in your classroom.

Families are not often fond of change, but that's mainly because they have so many questions and so little answers! This presentation takes the guessing out of flipping and helps your students and families have more piece of mind when it comes to your classroom. It's also 100% editable to fit the needs of you, your students, and your classroom procedures!

Topics Include:

• Meet the Teacher
• Classroom Mindset
• What is a "Flipped Classroom"?
• What will our Flipped Classroom look like?
• What will your student need to be successful?
• Why am I implementing a Flipped Classroom?
• Still have questions?
• BLANK SLIDE
