Meet every student’s needs
Our Teacher-Built 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
A teacher, not an algorithm, decides what each student needs next. Your teachers stay the hero of effective instruction, with technology serving teaching and not the other way around.
Mastery-based
Students demonstrate they have learned something before moving on, rather than moving on simply because the calendar says so. The teacher is the one who decides when a student progresses and where they need help.
Grounded in the science of learning
Everything we build is supported by evidence, not theory or trend chasing. Our model draws on practices grounded in cognitive science: retrieval practice, spaced practice, mastery learning, and explicit instruction.
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
