Using An In-Class Flip for Differentiated Learning

Reading, writing, math.  Every classroom has a wide range of student ages, interests, proficiencies, and areas of growth.  Over the past several years, "flipping the classroom," in which teachers provide direct instruction via videos at home and use class time for classwork and projects, has become an increasingly common way for teachers to more effectively address this wide range of needs.  

However, a traditional “at home” flipped classroom can be challenging for students in the early primary grades.  As these young students are learning to read, write, and work with each other, they benefit from the support of a nurturing in-class environment that allows them to develop independence, collaborative skills, and confidence in tackling more challenging tasks.​

The question becomes how a primary grade teacher can reap the benefits of a flipped model to support differentiation, while preserving the in-class nurturing relationship so essential in the early grades.   Could a library of videos be the answer?
