Organizations Filed Purposes: THE MODERN CLASSROOMS PROJECT EMPOWERS AND EQUIPS EDUCATORS TO CREATE BLENDED, SELF-PACED, MASTERY-BASED CLASSROOMS IN WHICH ALL STUDENTS, REGARDLESS OF BACKGROUND, CAN TRULY LEARN.

THE MODERN CLASSROOMS PROJECT EMPOWERS EDUCATORS TO REDESIGN THEIR CLASSROOMS TO SUPPORT EACH STUDENT'S LEARNING. IN 2020, WE OFFERED IN- PERSON WORKSHOPS AND INTERACTIVE ONLINE COURSES THAT HELP TEACHERS IMPLEMENT OUR CORE, RESEARCH-BASED PRACTICES: BLENDED INSTRUCTION: TEACHERS CREATE HIGH-QUALITY INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS TO REPLACE IN-CLASS LECTURES. THIS ALLOWS STUDENTS TO LEARN AT THEIR OWN PACES AND FREES UP TEACHERS TO PROVIDE TARGETED INDIVIDUAL AND SMALL-GROUP SUPPORT IN CLASS. SELF-PACED STRUCTURES: TEACHERS DESIGN SELF-PACED CLASSROOM STRUCTURES, WHICH ALLOW STUDENTS TO CONTROL THEIR OWN LEARNING WHILE MEETING ESSENTIAL LEARNING OBJECTIVES AND DEADLINES. WE FOCUS IN PARTICULAR ON STRATEGIES THAT TEACHERS CAN USE TO MOTIVATE STUDENTS AND FOSTER AUTHENTIC STUDENT- STUDENT COLLABORATION. MASTERY-BASED GRADING: TEACHERS BUILD MASTERY-BASED ASSESSMENTS, WHICH GIVE STUDENTS CREDIT ONLY WHEN THEY'VE DEMONSTRATED FULL UNDERSTANDING OF CONTENT AND SKILLS. IN PARTICULAR, WE HELP TEACHERS

MODERN CLASSROOM FELLOWSHIP: THIS PROGRAM, WHICH RAN FOR THE FINAL TIME IN 2020, IS A ONE-YEAR FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM THAT EQUIPS AND EMPOWERS EDUCATORS IN THE WASHINGTON, DC AREA TO REDESIGN THEIR CLASSROOMS. WE GIVE FELLOWS ONE WEEK OF INTENSIVE SUMMER TRAINING, THEN SUPPORT THESE FELLOWS THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR WITH INDIVIDUALIZED COACHING AND FEEDBACK. FELLOWS CAN TEACH ANY SUBJECT, AT ANY GRADE LEVEL, IN ANY SCHOOL SETTING. IN 2020, WE TRAINED 52 MODERN CLASSROOM FELLOWS.

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 ONGOING SUPPORTS. IN 2020, WE EMPOWERED 658 TEACHERS THROUGH OUR VIRTUAL MENTORSHIP PROGRAM.

IN-PERSON TEACHER TRAINING: UPON REQUEST, WE TRAVEL TO INTERESTED SCHOOLS AND DISTRICTS TO PROVIDE ON-SITE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO EDUCATORS IN THOSE SCHOOLS/DISTRICTS. THESE WORKSHOPS ARE FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF EACH SCHOOL PARTNER. IN 2020, WE GAVE WORKSHOPS IN NEW YORK, NORTH CAROLINA, PENNSYLVANIA, AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
