Program areas at The Modern Classrooms Project
Virtual mentorship program this is our flagship program. Educators from around The world enroll in an online course, through which they work hand-in-hand with one of our expert educators to design blended, self-paced,mastery-based instructional materials of their own. Each educator receives one-on-one coaching, feedback on lesson materials, certified credentials, and other support to help implement our instructional model.
Implementation support we work with partner schools and districts to provide: site visits (in person): upon request, we will travel to schools/districts to conduct classroom observations, lead in-person implementer discussions, and meet with educators. Implementer discussions (virtual): we run one-hour webinars to discuss trends in implementation and methods to build more equitable and differentiated Classrooms. Expert consultation: educators may sign up for on-demand coaching calls with our teacher mentors. Educators may pay for this service individually, or partners may provide this for their educators.

The organization has been driven by data from The start and collects data from a variety of sources across The year both for evaluative and continuous improvement purposes and by integrating action-oriented data review into its team's standard activities. Through our program development and evaluation work, we assess teacher growth through our virtual mentorship program and free course and use The data to continuously improve The training experience.

And we measure The impact of our model on teachers, students, and schools.
