5. WHAT IS A FLIPPED MEETING?
Quit the Announcements
Teacher Led PD
Ongoing Protocols
Teachers are given informational items to
read and view in advance. By flipping the
meeting, formerly leader-driven meetings
transform into distributed, leadership
meetings. Time is spent more creatively, with
teachers taking a more active role.

6. THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN FLIPPING
Why are you flipping your meeting?
How much info do you give them before
the meeting? If you record yourself, how
long is “too” long?
What tools are you going to use to flip?
Who will benefit from the experience?
What topics need to be discussed?
What outcomes do you want?

7. SAMPLE FLIPPED MEETING SCHEDULE
Decide what information can be given to
teachers ahead of time and what format.
Make them accountable for it.
Use the faculty meeting to discuss those
issues and get input from teachers or
use it for professional development time.
Use professional learning protocols.
Get feedback and revise and update for
future meetings.
