Abstract

In this session we will share what we have learned in co-facilitating and participating in a Flipped Classroom Community of Practice. We will (1) Describe how we have used a faculty-facilitated Community of Practice (CoP) model to support 27 instructors in learning how to flip their classrooms (2) Share examples from our Community of Practice instructors about what has worked and what hasn’t as they have been learning how to flip their classrooms (3) Share an analysis of student feedback about their experiences in being in flipped classrooms. (4) Invite participants of the session to share what they have learned in their journey to flipping their own classrooms.
