Teachers in traditional classrooms often struggle to meet their students’ needs. We help teachers build classrooms where ALL students can learn.
We empower teachers, across grade levels and subject areas, to adapt this model in their own classrooms. Together, we build better learning environments for students and teachers alike.
When classes move too fast for some and too slow for others, students disengage, and teachers become frustrated. We see the consequences of this one-size-fits-all model throughout our schools, particularly in our most vulnerable communities: students drop out, educators leave the profession, and graduates lack the skills they need for college and career.
The Modern Classrooms Project equips and empowers educators to create blended, self-paced, mastery-based classrooms in which all students truly learn.
