These results will be shared with colleagues in an attempt to collect more data on the flipped instructional style at the middle school level. Currently, there are mixed findings on whether the instructional style increases student achievement. However, most articles present that flipping a lesson allows for students to become more engaged in the lesson. In the future, I want to implement this delivery method in other chapters as well as collect data on students opinions on the flipped classroom in an effort to meet the needs and learning styles of all students while helping them reach their full potential.
