What is a Modern Classroom?
A Modern Classroom is one that is responsive to the needs and experiences of all students. This is not just a dream for educators - it’s a possibility with the Modern Classrooms Project.
In a Modern Classroom, educators forego the traditional front-of-class lecture to provide shorter forms of direct instruction that students can access whenever and wherever they might be. In this way, educators duplicate themselves digitally, allowing them to more freely respond to the various needs in their classrooms.
In a Modern Classroom, students go at their own pace. They don’t move onto the next lesson simply because it’s time or because they completed the requisite work. They move on when they have mastered the concept and are ready to build on that skill.
And that’s why students in a Modern Classroom are not graded on their effort or completion, but on mastery!
