Saint Paul's School for Girls hosts flipped classroom open house

BROOKLANDVILLE, Md. - Flipped classroom open houses kick off today in two countries, 20 states and over 30 cities and towns today.

ABC2’s Sherrie Johnson visited Saint Paul’s School for Girls in Brooklandville, where teachers are also opening their doors to allow educators and others to see how flipped learning works today.

Saint Paul’s School for Girls is hosting an open house for its Algebra I and II classes.

What is flipped learning?

Flipped learning happens when the teacher's lecture is delivered outside of the traditional class time via a video students view on their own as homework.

Class time is used for active problem solving by students and one to one or small group tutoring with the teacher.

Students can watch the short lectures as many times as they wish to grasp the content and then come to class ready to jump into the lesson-- answer questions-- work on collaborative projects-- and explore the content further.

Teachers are embracing flipped learning in elementary and secondary schools for all disciplines.

Today's open house runs from 12:30 to 1:15pm here at Saint Paul’s School for Girls at 11232 Falls Road, Brooklandville, Maryland 21022.
