. Understanding the details of the world in which a learner lives allows the learner to the ability to shape and manipulate that world to his advantage. Content mastery must be accompanied by healthy relationships in a learning community that fosters curiosity within learners. Focusing only upon content can lead to a cold, rote learning environments; spending all our energies on relationships can be done at the expense of content mastery; and developing curious learners without strong relationships can lead to learning in isolation. Essentially, the flipped learning approach allows teachers to spark interest, provide initial exposure, and deliver content through easy to make teacher created video so class time can be used to foster healthy relationships and engage students in higher levels of cognition to help ignite curiosity. Simply using video as a teaching tool will not fundamentally change a classroom. But rethinking how class time can be used for things other than direct instruction and lectures will transform a classroom from a teacher-centered instructional environment to a learner-centered laboratory of learning. Flipped learning is a transitional tool for teachers who know they want to move the attention away from themselves and on to student-centered learning. Flipped learning is not an end, but a means to greater teaching and deeper learning.

"reed, Negligence, or System Failure? Credit Rating Agencies and the Financial Crisis (2011) Download Case Study (pdf) Download Teaching Notes (pdf) Credit rating agencies are responsible for rating the credit-worthiness of a wide variety of investment opportunities. While the agencies' failure (out of greed or negligence) to properly assess the risk of these instruments leading up to the 2008 financial crisis is well-known, this case explores more encompassing systemic factors, including shifts in corporate culture, that led both to agency failures and the global financial crisis. Keywords: credit rating agencies, Moody's, Standard and Poors, financial crisis, derivatives, subprime mortgaged, conflicts of interest, corporate culture, regulatory oversight, market competition"
