The Flipped Classroom

Presented by Strobel Education


Strobel Education's Flipped Classroom workshop is an interactive virtual professional development experience that equips educators with the knowledge and practical strategies needed to implement the flipped classroom model in their own teaching practice. The workshop is part of Strobel Education's broader catalogue of high-impact professional learning offerings for teachers and school leaders. The flipped classroom model fundamentally restructures the traditional learning experience by moving direct instruction outside the classroom — typically through pre-recorded video lessons — and using class time for active learning, practice, and personalised support. This approach allows educators to differentiate content for different levels and abilities, reduces student frustration by ensuring questions can be addressed in real time, and increases concept engagement, teamwork skills, and peer understanding. The workshop is led by Dr. Donya Ball, a Strobel Education consultant and trainer who has served as a teacher, principal, and superintendent, bringing extensive practical experience to her solution-driven strategies. The session provides live feedback and real-time answers to participant questions throughout the training. For those unable to attend the live session, a replay is available along with all accompanying resources. This workshop is ideal for educators at any level who want to move beyond traditional lecture-based instruction toward a more student-centred, active learning approach.
