Modern Classrooms Project

Modern Classrooms Project is a nonprofit organisation that leads a movement of educators in implementing video to drive blended instruction in a self-paced, mastery-based instructional model that leverages technology to foster human connection, authentic learning, and social-emotional growth.
Modern Classrooms Project has trained and certified over 700 Expert Mentors and Distinguished Educators who implement its instructional model effectively in classrooms all around the world.
New methods
“Anyone who has spent time in the classroom knows that the task at hand perpetually feels unconquerable. But one place to start is in equipping educators with new methods that fundamentally restructure how they use space and time in the classrooms,” said Kareem Farah, CEO and co-founder of Modern Classrooms Project.
According to a 2021 survey, the Modern Classrooms Project has helped 85% of teachers enjoy teaching more and feel more optimistic about their future in education and has made 72% more likely to continue teaching as a career.
Video creation tools
“With our partnership with Screencastify, the Modern Classrooms Project is investing in supporting teachers and unleashing their capacity."
The partnership puts simple yet powerful video creation tools into the hands of leading K -12 educators who will implement the classroom of the future.
Seamless assignments
Each educator chosen was allowed to learn how to use instructional videos to carry on the mission
“Screencastify is very intuitive. So, going into the Modern Classrooms Project mentoring programme having already used Screencastify, it just made the assignments flow seamlessly,” said Cecelia Gillam, a teacher at St. Charles Parish School Board and MCP expert mentor.
In 2021, Screencastify used $25,000 to recognise and sponsor 50 educators to learn the nonprofit organisation’s innovative and research-backed instructional model. Each educator chosen was allowed to learn how to use instructional videos to carry on the Modern Classrooms Project’s mission to improve learning outcomes for every student and give them more control over their education.
Flexibility to pause and rewind
“Screencastify does a great job of giving students the flexibility to pause and rewind the video and make notes … and give them a sense of control of their own pace of learning,” said Monte Woodard, Science Teacher at The Field School in Washington, D.C. and MCP expert mentor.
Screencastify has remained laser-focused on helping empower K -12 educators with the right tools to implement blended and hybrid classroom environments that are necessary today. Screencastify is used by educators in more than 70% of U.S. school districts.
