Michigan School "Flips" Homework, Sees Positive Results

The Detroit Free Press (10/24, Higgins) reports on the success that Clintondale High School in Clinton Township, Michigan, is seeing in increasing academic performance and decreasing discipline problems using "a novel program that literally 'flips' around instruction: Students watch short online videos of lessons at home and do homework in class with their teacher's help. 'Flipping' is a radical change gaining steam across the nation, with the Clinton Township high school the first in the country to try it school-wide," according to Principal Greg Green. "The early success has sparked interest, with Green lately lecturing to often packed rooms at education conferences."
