First Generation

In March, the first 20 K-12 schools and universities around the world signed on to adopt the International Training Standards v.1.0 and agreed to collaborate on developing a global framework for Flipped Learning teachers, administrators, and students. These pioneering were the first generation of Flipped Learning model schools leading the way to the future of Flipped Learning, The list includes:
