The Flipped Classroom Model is a teaching approach where traditional in-class activities, such as lecture-style teaching, are moved outside the classroom.

Instructional theories involve the study and implementation of strategies that facilitate the process of learning. This specialized skill requires knowledge of different approaches to teaching, how people learn, and how to create effective learning environments.

Those who possess this skill are able to design and deliver instructional programs that cater to the diverse learning needs of students, and help them achieve their full potential.
