While many rehabilitation counselor educators incorporate activities into the classroom, few have embraced the concept of “flipping the classroom,” where class time is based around active learning rather than relying on lecture alone. The rise in dual rehabilitation and mental health counseling programs mean more students enroll seeking training in mental health counseling, but may have less interest in traditional rehabilitation and vocational assessment. The flipped classroom offers a means to engage today’s students in vocational and career counseling courses, exposing them to fundamentals of rehabilitation and newer models of employment for people with disabilities. This article provides practical recommendations for creating a flipped career development and employment classroom, including specific examples of student-centered learning activities and how to integrate the flipped approach into existing courses.
