AP biology classes flipped on head as part of new teaching method

By Angela Deines, The Capital-Journal

Mike Steinert and Ryan Pfeifer, honors and AP biology instructors at Washburn Rural High School, implemented a “flipped” or “blended” teaching model at the beginning of the 2015-16 school year. The model turns the traditional method on its head, having students listen to lectures online outside of class while classroom work is devoted to more interactive learning. Steinert and Pfeifer said while there was resistance to the new model at first, student and parent attitudes have since shifted and higher test scores from previous years have resulted.
