Flipped Learning
As the founding executive director of the Flipped Learning Network™, Kari Arfstrom led the effort, along with the board, to incorporate as a not-for-profit organization in early 2012. At the time the FLN’s online Professional Learning Community had 2,500 members; when she left in July, 2014, there were over 21,000 active members. During her tenure, flipped learning moved from a trend few teachers knew about to a full-fledged pedagogical method used by tens of thousands of educations around the world at all grade levels and subject areas. Under her direction, the organization met its mission by expanding the knowledge of flipped learning (see research and surveys she co-authored and collaborated on to the right); presented numerous webinars and trainings and managed all aspects of FlipCon, the annual conference; and represented the organization, board and members in numerous print, radio, online and television interviews. Kari continues to write and speak about flipped learning to public and private school educators and administrators, librarians and other special interest groups. Read more about the FLN here.
