FLN Shares its Four Pillars of Flipped Learning - Christopher Piehler, THE Journal

The FLN definition of Flipped Learning is the following: "Flipped Learning is a pedagogical approach in which direct instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual learning space, and the resulting group space is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment where the educator guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter." Along with the definition, FLN announced its Four Pillars of F-L-I-P and a checklist of 11 supporting indicators for educators. Jon Bergmann, coauthor of Flip Your Classroom and secretary/treasurer of the FLN, said of the checklist, "Educators can use it as a frame of reference because it demonstrates what effective Flipped Learning looks like. It's a baseline — or roadmap — containing the principles of Flipped Learning." http://thejournal.com/articles/2014/03/12/fln-announces-formal-definition-and-four-pillars.aspx
