A flipped learning model allows for students to move at their own pace and take part in learning that is just right for them. By utilizing the innumerable learning videos available online, teachers can free up their own time for differentiation within the classroom by allowing students to work ahead if need be while they focus on intervention with students who need it. An important feature to note, as well, is that flipped learning has the power to teach students self-monitoring with a teacher's help. How powerful that students can go back and re-watch a video if they don't understand? In the right context, teachers can help students understand that their learning is in their own hands, and students can feel empowered to take their time to fully understand each concept presented. With the right teacher messaging, flipped learning has the potential to create independently motivated learners, and a deeply differentiated classroom.
