During the 2007-2008 school year, Aaron Sams and I pioneered the flipped class model of education. In 2011, a group of educators met at the Competency Based Learning Summit.

By 2008 it had its own conference, FlipCon (which closed in 2016). I said, ‘Look, here’s what I expect you to learn, and here’s everything you need to learn it. Go learn it, but I’m not going to tell you to learn it by this date.’ “Simple designs work well, and simplicity makes things happen.”. Jon Bergmann.

Lately I have been thinking about how flipped learning, mastery learning, and competency based learning (CBL) intersect. I believe that implementing a Flipped Mastery approach is a practical way to personalize learning for each kid. I have seen this mistake in technology training of teachers.
