Modern Classrooms Project Podcast

Join Arpan Choski, Katie Fatiga, and Lindsey Anderson, distinguished Modern Classroom Educators, for a live webinar on Tuesday, February 18 at 6pm ET, where they'll share their expertise in transforming your Social Studies classroom into a dynamic, personalized learning environment. 

For school and district leaders, join Modern Classrooms Project (MCP) co-founder and Chief Product Officer Robert Barnett, City Year co-founder Michael Brown, former district superintendent and state education commissioner Deborah Gist, and Brian Pick of Schusterman Family Philanthropies, to learn: why traditional methods of instruction fail to meet so many learners’ needs, how teachers around the world are using research-backed teaching practices to keep each of their students appropriately challenged - and appropriately supported - every day, and what you can do to support student-centered teaching and learning in your own work on Wednesday, February 19 at 3pm ET. 

Our Fall Book Club was so popular that we’re bringing it back this spring! We are reading Rob Barnett’s Meet Every Learner’s Needs together as a community and our first session is on Redesigning Lessons on Wednesday, February 19 at 7:00pm ET. We are partnering with Kami, ScreenPal, Screencastify, and Edpuzzle. We’d love to have you! 

We have a booth at the Northern Kentucky Cooperative for Educational Services (NKCES) Resource Fair on Feb. 21. If you’re attending, make sure to check us out!

In this edWebinar, you will discover evidence-based techniques that you can use right away to keep each of your students appropriately challenged—and appropriately supported—every day.
