In 2007, two Colorado high school chemistry teachers, Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams, developed an ingenious pedagogical approach – a variation of the “flipped classroom” – that improved the educational experience of their students and caught on with other educators in Colorado and around the globe.
