Flipped classrooms give every student a chance to succeed

I’m a principal at Clintondale High, a financially challenged school near Detroit. I’m in charge of doing my best to make sure that Clintondale students get the best education possible when they walk through our doors. There are constant hurdles to making this happen. We are a school of choice, so not all students come in with the same skill levels in reading, math, science or other subjects. Teacher gets to tout St. Paul's Avalon co-op school to nation's top education officials. St. Paul schoolteacher Carrie Bakken recently got a chance to do something most of her peers dare not dream of: schooling U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and his highest-ranking advisers on the topic of education reform.
