Modern Classrooms Project supports educators to redesign instruction through a blended, self-paced, mastery-based teaching model that enables students to progress through content at their own pace while teachers use in-person time for targeted small group and one-to-one support.
Modern Classrooms Project launched in 2018 and has grown steadily over the past several years through a combination of direct teacher engagement and district partnerships. From 2021 to 2025, the organization more than doubled its annual teacher reach, growing from 2,071 teachers to 4,740 teachers, a 129 percent increase over five years. It also evolved its core model toward offering curriculum-embedded solutions aligned with high-quality instructional materials (HQIM), which has improved educator satisfaction and increased scalability by making it easier to implement HQIM.
Alongside its growth, Modern Classrooms Project has begun to demonstrate how its instructional model can translate into measurable changes in classroom practice and curriculum use. An external evaluation found that 89 percent of Modern Classrooms Project teachers reported being able to meet students at different levels of understanding, compared to 44 percent of peers; and 86 percent reported working closely with individual students during class time, compared to 19 percent of comparison teachers. Emerging evidence funded by Overdeck Family Foundation also suggests that Modern Classrooms-trained teachers implemented curriculum with higher fidelity than non-Modern Classrooms-trained teachers, with a 14.5 percentage point increase at the highest level of curriculum fidelity after just months of implementation.
