The guide school leaders need to reap the rewards of education's most exciting new trend.
Flipping classrooms-using class time for hands-on learning and "off loading" the lecture portion of lessons to teacher-created videos or other technology presentations assigned as homework-is taking schools by storm. But like all hot trends, it is important to apply this innovation intelligently, especially at the system-wide level.
This book makes a persuasive case to leaders for the potential benefits of flipping. Backed by powerful data and compelling anecdotes, this book covers:

- How flipping engages students in 21st century skills
- Ways flipping is budget and resource-friendly
With this book, you can take a major step towards the future of education, utilizing technology and advanced understanding of how students learn best.
