WE OFFER 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 DEVELOP EFFECTIVE SYSTEMS FOR REVISION, REASSESSMENT, AND REFLECTION ON STUDENT WORK. ALL OF OUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS ITSELF BLENDED, SELF-PACED, AND MASTERY-BASED; THIS MODELS THE MODERN CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT AND ENSURES THAT TEACHERS' TIME IS USED EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY. THE MODERN CLASSROOMS PROJECT: PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS TO EQUIP AND EMPOWER EDUCATORS IN WASHINGTON, DC AND BEYOND, WE OFFER FOUR PROGRAMS: 1.THE MODERN CLASSROOM FELLOWSHIP: OUR FLAGSHIP PROGRAM, THE MODERN CLASSROOM FELLOWSHIP IS A ONE-YEAR FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM THAT EQUIPS AND EMPOWERS EDUCATORS IN REDESIGNING THEIR CLASSROOMS TO SUPPORT EVERY STUDENT'S LEARNING. WE GIVE FELLOWS ONE WEEK OF INTENSIVE SUMMER TRAINING, DURING WHICH THEY CREATE BLENDED, SELF-PACED, MASTERY-BASED COURSEWORK OF THEIR OWN, 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 2019, WE TRAINED 25 MODERN CLASSROOM FELLOWS. 2.MODERN CLASSROOM WORKSHOPS: UPON REQUEST, WE TRAVEL TO INTERESTED SCHOOLS AND DISTRICTS TO PROVIDE ON-SITE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO EDUCATORS IN THOSE SCHOOLS/DISTRICTS. THESE WORKSHOPS, WHICH ARE FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF EACH SCHOOL PARTNER, RANGE FROM ONE TO FIVE DAYS. ALL FOLLOW OUR BLENDED, SELF-PACED, MASTERY-BASED INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL. IN 2019, WE GAVE WORKSHOPS IN NORTH CAROLINA AND PENNSYLVANIA, AND REACHED AGREEMENTS TO RUN WORKSHOPS IN NEW YORK AND DC AS WELL. 3.BUILDING MODERN CLASSROOMS ONLINE COURSE: FOR TEACHERS AROUND THE WORLD, WE'VE BUILT AN ONLINE TRAINING COURSE THAT EXPLAINS OUR MODELS AND GIVES EDUCATORS THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO IMPLEMENT IT. THE BASIC COURSE IS FREE; TEACHERS WHO WANT ADDITIONAL SUPPORT CAN PAY FOR FEEDBACK OR VIRTUAL COACHING. IN 2019, WE TRAINED OVER 200 TEACHERS THROUGH THIS COURSE. 4.CONSULTING AND CURRICULUM DESIGN SERVICES: UPON REQUEST, WE ALSO ADVISE DISTRICTS AND SCHOOLS ON THE PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF BLENDED- LEARNING INITIATIVES. |
