EDTC 513 - Flipping the Special Area Classroom

The flipped classroom model has been around since the early 2000s, but most resources available focus on the general education classroom or core subject areas. However, the flipped model can provide for rich experiences in special area classrooms, as students can learn about the basics at home, leaving you free to create fun, hands-on lessons in the classroom.

In this course for art, music, PE, health, and other special area teachers, you’ll learn best practices for flipping your classroom in a way that’s tailored to your subject area. You’ll explore different media you can use to engage your students and create lesson plans that will challenge them to think at a higher level. In addition, you’ll discover how to make your lessons differentiated and inclusive, to ensure equitable outcomes for students regardless of learning style or access to technology at home.

Using the tools and strategies from this course, you’ll be able to find highly engaging resources and design interactive lessons that will make your special area classroom fun, memorable, and educational for your students.
