Meet every student’s needs
Our Approach
Modern Classrooms Project is a nonprofit organization that empowers educators to transform their classrooms and schools to meet the needs of every student. Our educator-led, mastery-based instructional approach, grounded in the science of learning, is the foundation of a growing movement of tens of thousands of educators worldwide.
Educator-led
Teachers stay the hero of effective instruction, with technology serving teaching and not the other way around.
Mastery-based
Students move on when they demonstrate mastery, and when the teacher decides, rather than simply because the calendar says so.
Grounded in the science of learning
Our approach is built on established research about how students learn, translated into structures a teacher can run in a real classroom.
Make Your Curriculum Work for You
Modern Classrooms Project is the missing instructional layer that gets every student to grade-level mastery. Our educator-led, mastery-based approach, grounded in the science of learning and delivered through curriculum- and standards-aligned coaching, tools, and resources, is what makes the materials you've already chosen work in every classroom.

“I’ve never had stronger relationships with my students. Teaching as a career is more sustainable for the long term as I feel much less burned out at the end of every day.”
— Angel Ballard, High-School Special Education Teacher
