01
About Flip Education
Flip Education is an AI-powered co-teacher that transforms curriculum topics into hands-on, in-class active learning experiences. Teachers select a topic, choose a methodology, and the platform generates a complete mission with timed phases, teacher scripts, and print-ready materials.
Flip Education was created by Raian Pollock and Adriana Perusin. Raian is a seasoned technology leader with a background in business strategy and revenue growth. Adriana is a teacher with over 15 years of classroom experience across Brazil, Canada, and the UK. Together, they built the platform to close the gap between education research and what actually happens in classrooms.
The platform covers over 20,000 curriculum-aligned topics across 18 countries, including the US (Common Core, NGSS), UK (National Curriculum), Australia, India (CBSE/NCERT), Brazil (BNCC), and major European curricula. Subjects span math, science, history, language arts, social studies, and more.
Flip Education supports K-12 (ages 5-18). Missions are tailored to the selected grade level, adjusting vocabulary, complexity, timing, and activity type so they work for both early learners and high school students.
No. Flip Education complements your existing textbooks and curriculum materials. It transforms textbook topics into active, hands-on classroom experiences. The textbook provides the knowledge base; Flip Education makes it stick through structured student-led activities.
The platform interface and all generated missions are available in 11 languages across 18 country-specific versions, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch, and Swedish.
02
How It Works
The teacher selects a curriculum topic, grade level, and one of 48 teaching methodologies (debate, simulation, mock trial, gallery walk, and more). The AI generates a structured mission in under 60 seconds, complete with timed phases, teacher notes, student materials, and assessment rubrics.
Missions are structured classroom activities where students do things rather than just listen. Each mission has four timed phases: context setting, the core activity, structured reflection, and assessment. A typical 45-minute mission might open with a 5-minute teacher briefing, move into 25 minutes of group work (building models, running a mock trial, debating positions), then close with 10 minutes of peer reflection and a rubric-scored debrief. About 85% of class time is physical, off-screen student activity.
The platform includes 48 research-backed active learning methodologies, organized into seven categories: discussion and debate, collaborative learning, simulation and role-play, problem-based, game-based, creative and production, and reflection and self-direction. Examples include Socratic seminars, mock trials, design thinking sprints, fishbowl discussions, and world cafes.
No. Each mission comes with a detailed teacher guide that walks you through every phase, including timing, discussion prompts, and facilitation tips. Teachers report being comfortable running missions on their first try.
The AI generates a complete mission in under 60 seconds. Most teachers spend another 5-10 minutes reviewing the materials and printing what they need. Compare that to the 30-90 minutes typical lesson planning requires.
Yes. After generation you see the full mission with all phases, teacher notes, and student materials. You can review, edit any section, and only save or print once you are satisfied.
You set the session duration before generating (30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes). The AI scales the number of phases and activity depth to fit your time slot. If you need to adjust after generating, you can edit phase timings manually.
03
In the Classroom
No. Students never create accounts, log in, or interact with the platform. Missions are designed to be run entirely offline. The teacher prepares using the platform, then leads the class through physical activities using printed guides.
Most missions require only the printed teacher guide and student handouts, plus basic classroom supplies like paper, markers, and sticky notes. Some methodologies use simple props, but nothing that requires a special purchase.
Yes. You can adjust class size, session duration, and specific learning objectives before generating. After generation, all materials are editable so you can adapt them to your students and teaching style.
Yes. You can generate multiple versions of the same topic using different methodologies or adjusted for different reading levels. The variety of 48 methodologies means you can match activities to how your students learn best.
Typically in groups of 3-5 with rotating roles (facilitator, recorder, timekeeper, reporter). The teacher guide specifies group sizes and role assignments for each methodology. Some missions use whole-class formats like fishbowl discussions or gallery walks.
Yes. Each mission is fully self-contained with a step-by-step teacher guide, timed phases, and all student materials. A substitute teacher can run the lesson without prior prep or knowledge of the class.
Every mission includes a built-in rubric aligned to the learning objectives, plus a structured reflection phase where students articulate what they learned. Some methodologies also include peer assessment prompts and teacher observation checklists.
04

Each teacher needs their own account to maintain a personal mission history and preferences. School plans give every teacher in the building their own full Classroom-level account at a per-teacher price.
06
Privacy and Security
No. Students never log in, never create accounts, and never interact with the platform. Flip Education collects zero student data at every tier, including the free plan.
Flip Education is compliant with FERPA, COPPA, GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, LGPD, PIPEDA, and India's DPDP Act. Because no student data enters the system, the platform meets or exceeds the requirements of every major education privacy framework.
No. The AI receives only a topic string (for example, "Photosynthesis, Grade 5") and a methodology type. No student names, no class details, no personally identifiable information of any kind.
Yes. Contact us at hello@flipeducation.ai and we will provide a DPA tailored to your jurisdiction. We also offer custom compliance documentation for school and district procurement workflows.
Teacher account data is stored on AWS servers in the EU (Frankfurt), encrypted at rest and in transit. Mission content is cached for performance but no student data is stored anywhere, because none is collected.
Flip Education holds no student data, so there is nothing to delete. Teacher account data can be fully removed on request by emailing hello@flipeducation.ai.
