The greatest gift we can give students is the ability to learn independently.  In the flipped classroom, students take responsibility for their learning, conduct experiments, watch video podcasts, work on assignments, interact with the class Moodle site, have one-on-one discussions with their teacher, and are tutored by cadet teachers. Students work through content at their own pace.Part of meeting the learning needs of each student involves scheduling flexibility.  This is possible in the Flipped classroom by leveraging vodcasting technology to deliver content.  The class schedule is not dictated by the teacher's content delivery schedule.  Each student masters objectives in ways that are meaningful to them and when it is appropriate for them.A benefit of this paradigm is that all students learn.  Struggling students are given extra help to master content while advanced students are allowed to accelerate. Every student is now required to master the content before progressing.
