The Modern Classroom instructional model makes teaching and learning easier and more sustainable in thousands of classrooms worldwide. It’s an evidence-based, student-centered approach developed by award-winning teachers in their own classrooms, and it has now empowered educators in every grade level and content area to respond to each of their learners’ needs.

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.

• What you can do to support student-centered teaching and learning in your own work.

Robert will share insights from his new book, Meet Every Learner’s Needs: Redesigning Instruction So All Students Can Succeed, which explains how he developed the Modern Classroom model in his own classroom, and offers practical strategies from many of the educators this approach has empowered.

You’ll then hear from Deborah about MCP’s impact in her district, and from Michael and Brian about the things they have learned by watching MCP grow over the past several years.

You’ll leave this discussion understanding how teachers are leading the movement towards more student-centered instruction - and feeling empowered to support that movement in your own work.
