Abstract
The Modern Classrooms Project provides professional development and coaching
to teachers to help them meet their students’ academic needs by integrating self-paced
and mastery-based principles and technology into instruction. This approach works to
develop students’ abilities to engage in self-directed learning. In this study, teachers
opted to participate in a week-long summer training and ongoing coaching and
mentoring by Modern Classrooms staff. The Modern Classrooms Project contracted with
the Center for Research and Reform in Education (CRRE) at Johns Hopkins University to
conduct a study of the efficacy of The Modern Classrooms approach on teacher and
student outcomes during the 2019–20 school year.
