Due to the depth of knowledge made available, open-mindedness, and interpretive listening, our collaboration with Flipped PL led to making ideas better (School Administrator).
How can I go about flipping some of the collaborative inquiry initiatives in my school? Staff meetings? (School Administrator)
I like how you apply your own curiousity and learning to various divisions and subject areas (System Administrator).
The value of having ... time with a colleague to view and discuss the on-line training was beneficial.  We liked the ability to pause when we felt it necessary and the ability to set our own time limits ... for discussion time (School Learning Team).

How do I create this type of professional learning opportunity?

The "Today's PL ... Flipped" link takes delegates to a password-protected page that they can navigate to facilitate their learning experience. Since flipped learning is geared to helping us determine the best use of our face-to-face meeting time for professional development, this experience can also include a follow-up, face-to-face component in which participants will bring their learning and reflections into a workshop experience that includes observation and documentation of student thinking--truly blending the learning opportunity and experience!

How do I create a Flipped PL opportunity for myself, group, school, or district? We'd like to consult with you, and we'd be more than happy to discuss your ideas, help design an experience, and/or facilitate the learning opportunity. Contact us.

NOW AVAILABLE: An on-line sign-up option has been made available to share your ideas and to determine best ways for Flipped PL to collaborate with you.
