Head of Marketing and Communications

Who We Are:

The Modern Classrooms Project is a nonprofit organization that empowers educators to meet every student’s needs through blended, self-paced, mastery-based instruction. Founded by two award winning teachers, we lead a movement of educators in implementing a research-backed instructional model that leverages technology to improve educator effectiveness and learner understanding.

To support educators in building Modern Classrooms of their own, we offer a:

Free Online Course, which gives educators a comprehensive overview of our instructional model and provides exemplars, templates, and other useful resources.
Virtual Mentorship Program, which empowers educators to work hand-in-hand with one of our expert educators to design a full unit's worth of blended, self-paced, mastery-based lessons for their students.

From September 2019-March 2020, we enrolled ~500 users in our free online course and directly supported 33 teachers in the DC area. From March-September 2020, we enrolled 20,000+ educators from 100+ countries in our free online course and directly supported over 500 educators nationwide through our virtual mentorship program. We are growing extremely fast and are looking for an excellent person to help us continue to scale.
