Flipping the Classroom Printable Version “Flipping the classroom” has become something of a buzzword in the last several years, driven in part by high profile publications in The New York Times (Fitzpatrick, 2012); The Chronicle of Higher Education (Berrett, 2012); and Science (Mazur, 2009); In essence, “flipping the classroom” means that students gain first exposure to new material outside of class, usually via reading or lecture videos, and then use class time to do the harder work of assimilating that knowledge, perhaps through problem-solving, discussion, or debates.

A Brief Summary of the Best Practices in College Teaching Intended to Challenge the Professional Development of All Teachers Compiled by Tom Drummond North Seattle Community College Introduction/Overview: I have collected here, without examples or detailed explanations, a collection of practices that constitute excellence in college teaching. These elements represent the broad range of effective actions teachers take, and requisite conditions that teachers establish, to facilitate learning. I have tried to make this listing intentionally brief and can be scanned to serve more as a reference to the scope of excellent teaching techniques than as a source of enlightenment.
