FIGURE 4 FLIPPED CLASSROOM Adapted from Horn and Staker, 2015 Students complete Reading Horizons Elevate software lessons outside of class as homework according to a schedule prescribed by the teacher or as the student self-directs. After students have completed designated software lessons, teachers use class time to review the skill as a whole class. Students actively participate in the review of the skill and demonstrate mastery of each skill by engaging in dictation, using Transfer Cards, and completing optional Enrichment Activities found at the end of each skill lesson in the Reading Horizons Elevate Teacher’s Manuals. The Reading Horizons Student Workbook can also be used in connection with the students’ online learning in a couple of different ways. First, students could be assigned to complete accompanying Student Workbook pages for homework as they complete each lesson on the software. Or secondly, students could complete Student Workbook lessons in class. Individual Rotation In individual rotation, students move to a variety of different learning modalities based on student needs and interests. The students’ course is not prescribed by a teacher or schedule but rather is customized for each student according to individual needs. Teachers are available to expand on the information learned online via face-to-face projects and discussions and according to students’ needs. (See Figure 5.) 12
