Properly trained instructors to me, is the most important component of a "Flipped Classroom Model." Without first obtaining this this level, how are instructors going to obtain the rest of the basic components? A befuddled and unsure instructor will only create a befuddled and confused classroom environment.

The issues and barriers to this method of instruction I feel are based on the large numbers of students that have passed through a educational system which has not trained them to have personal motivation. Thankfully, a small number of students, who are pursuing a future in higher academics, have this self-drive and motiving desire, would jump at the chance to use this stimulating method. The higher grade students of tomorrow need to be trained now,in their beginning school years. This also is true of the instructors that will be applying these methods.
