Flipping Your Professional Development

I've been reading quite a few blogs lately (over the past couple of years, actually) about reverse instruction aka flipping the classroom. It's really a simple concept that makes a lot of sense. Deliver the content (lowest level of thinking) at home and work on the applications and problems (higher level) together to provide facilitation. But then I read a blog (forgive for not remembering where or by whom) about applying that same concept to professional development. Provide access to the content (video, document, whatever) before the pd time and then provide guided practice for the new skill. Simple. Logical. Brilliant!
