Within the three types of teaching methods presented, my preferred teaching method is flipped over CBL and PBL. Currently, the flipped teaching practice aligns more appropriately with the type of learning my students are more capable of doing. All of my students have multiple emotional and behavioral deficits not to mention low tolerance levels. Hence, a curriculum geared for independent learning, such as CBL or PBL would be too challenging for the majority of my students. The flipped teaching approach is more accessible in that students can view instruction online outside of class and move “homework” into the classroom. Many of the students at my special day class, who have a difficult time attending school, would greatly benefit from making up class work outside of class. This non-traditional teaching practice would provide more flexibility in the student’s schedules and perhaps keep them motivated to stay in school to graduate. Students would have an easier time earning high school credits without spending summers making up the credits. The flipped teaching practice may become the way of the future, especially for students who face serious emotional and behavioral challenges and cannot succeed within the confinements of a traditional teaching setting. In the flipped teaching practice, teachers would have time to help students and explain difficult concepts on an individual basis. Students would spend more time in class, collaborating and doing interactive activities to minimize frustration levels before going home to do homework. Although this teaching practice would not work for all students, it definitely would be a step up from what we currently offer at my school site.
