    What You Should Know About Flipped Classroom

    In a traditional classroom model (probably the kind us parents are familiar with), the teacher spends the majority of his/her time instructing the children on a particular lesson, usually through direct teaching methods or a lecture style presentation. Information is presented to the students. Students are expected to listen attentively and possibly ask questions at the appropriate time. Then homework is assigned to be completed between classes to help reinforce the concepts taught in the classroom. The flipped classroom, on the other hand, takes this model and turns it upside-down.   The flipped classroom model uses technology to deliver instruction to the students in electronic format (think web modules, PowerPoint® presentations, and even You Tube videos) before and between classes. Then actual class time (face-to-face interaction with the teacher) is spent answering questions and working through homework assignments - essentially "flipping" the traditional classroom teaching model. Proponents of the flipped classroom argue that this allows for more individualized attention on a student's weak areas, and also lessens frustration and confusion over homework, leading to greater percentages of completed homework assignments. And using technology to deliver the instructional content allows kids to pace themselves during the learning process, lessening the frustration often found in a traditional classroom setting where the teacher must move forward in a lesson plan whether all students have understood the information or not. This is a major paradigm shift for classroom education.

    No matter how you look at it, college is an expensive proposition these days. Both public and private colleges and universities have had to raise fees and tuition as costs have increased. As a result, college student debt has skyrocketed and many students end up with loan payments years, sometimes even decades, after graduation. But with some careful planning and creative thinking, there are lots of other ways to help pay for college and avoid being stuck with big loan payments after graduation. One final but important step in the college application process is to include an application for financial aid.

    As parents, and grandparents for that matter, we consider it to be a bit of a rite of passage to tell our children just how easy they have it compared to what we went through at their age. File this under the “when I was your age, I had to walk 2 miles to school each day, uphill both ways” category.

    For any parent of a college-bound student, SAT and ACT test scores are no doubt at the center of most dinner table discussions. While no one will argue that test scores alone are the deciding factor in college admissions, and many colleges are moving toward a test-optional admissions policy, strong scores on the SAT and or ACT can definitely help a student’s chance of gaining admission to his/her college of choice.
