Health Professions Educator Mini-Series: The Flipped Classroom

TEACH  has partnered with the Department of Basic Science Education and developed a three session mini-series to help participants build the foundational skills and knowledge necessary for creating a flipped classroom curriculum and to offer practical guidance to apply these new skills to a curricular component. These mini-series videos will walk participants through the development of an active classroom experience starting with basic content, objective development, student preparation, in class materials and assessment strategies. Following these guidelines, any didactic session can be adapted to an integrated, applied format with increased student success and efficiency in content delivery.

Bonus:  These sessions count toward your annual requirement for faculty development related to teaching! For instructions on how to log video-recorded sessions into Digital Measures click here.
