This article describes how intentional planning using the principles of Fink's (2013) taxonomy for significant learning and Garrison's (2007) three presences, a traditional face-to-face course can be converted into a strong online course using the best practices of the flipped classroom model that facilitated better student outcomes. The suggested approach shows how focusing on Garrison's three presences and Fink's taxonomy for significant learning can create a foundation for successful course delivery. This course, Counseling and Guidance in Education, helps counseling educators prepare future counselors to create a comprehensive school counseling program in a well-designed online course. Implications for counselor educators are also discussed encouraging educators to think beyond the traditional face-to-face classroom in an effort to prepare a counseling course for an online environment.
