Flip teaching

... that the catchphrase of flip teaching is "become the guide on the side not the sage on the stage"?

Length and history are good; however paper abstract cited as source only uses half the catchphrase. Perhaps multiple cites would help. Daniel Case (talk) 07:40, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Several days with no response despite the editor being active. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:21, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Just a question here – don't we usually wait a week before zapping? I know the nominator was notified that there were issues with the nom, but the article's creator was not. There have been changes to the article by both nominator and editor, but do they understand someone needs to come back here and talk about it? The nominator seems to have only two previous DYKs.

Sorry to be slow in responding. Daniel Case had a good point about the hook and I didn't have a ready answer. I checked out the catchphrase which seems to have been around for some time in education and seems only loosely related to flip teaching. And I don't have a better idea for a good hook. Also, the current main editor of the article seems a bit inexperienced. I don't want to get in the way of his editing as he's been doing all the heavy lifting lately but he's made the article something of a link farm and I'm not sure it's ready for prime time yet. So, if the article is declined as a DYK candidate, that's fine by me. The point of the process is to be somewhat selective and so we should not strain ourselves or compromise our standards to let through borderline candidates. Thanks to Daniel for his diligence.
