Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Flip Your Classroom
Jonathan Bergmann · 2012
80/100
👍 Worth It
Bergmann and Sams wrote this from real classroom floors, not theory, and the flipped model they describe launched a genuine pedagogical movement — that is worth something. The book is brief and focused on secondary science, so teachers in other subjects or deeper practitioners will need to supplement, but as an accessible, evidence-grounded starting point for a major instructional shift, it earns its ForeWord Award finalist status.
