As a college professor that is *not* primarily working with education majors, I found this entire piece deeply troubling. The pedagogies described here are *exactly* those that we tell our new faculty not to use– the lecture died a quiet death on my campus 25+ years ago in the humanities, and is on the way out (finally) in the natural sciences. The flipped classroom, as such, has been the norm in history, English, philosophy, etc. for a generation or more. So why are high school teacher still droning on before a roomful of sleepy teens?
No wonder our first-year students have such a hard time adapting to an active learning classroom environment when they start college.
