A Comprehensive Free Course for All
Our Free Online Course isn't a teaser, and you won't find a paywall anywhere. It contains every resource we've ever created to support teachers, including:
Exemplar units
Tutorials for common tech tools
Video and assessment templates
Webinars
PLC materials
Etc.
These materials weren't free to create: in fact, everything you see on our free course was created by real Modern Classroom teachers, whom we've paid to share their expertise with you.
Fortunately, we are supported by wonderful donors who believe in our mission and are glad to help us support any teacher, anywhere in the world. (If you'd like to become one of these supporters, you can donate here.) Their generosity lets us share everything we have with you.
Then Why Do Mentorship and Expert Consultation Cost Money?
There is one thing that we charge for: our educators' time. We pay our Expert Mentors fairly (starting at $50/hour) for sharing their expertise. Our Mentors are highly experienced and skilled educators, whom we've trained to coach and support the next generation of Modern Classroom educators. We are proud to pay them many thousands of dollars each year to empower their peers and colleagues.
Because we know teachers' budgets are often tight, we offer three kinds of support:
30-minute expert consultation ($45): Schedule a time to meet with one of our Expert Mentors, to ask questions and discuss Modern Classroom implementation.
Virtual Mentorship Program ($750): During the school year or over the summer, complete a full training course that includes personalized coaching, feedback on classroom materials, and access to our full network of Modern Classroom educators. We also offer graduate credits for this program.
School & District Partnerships (contact us): Transform an entire school or district by enrolling a cohort of teachers in our Virtual Mentorship Programs.
If you like, you can ask your school to sponsor you -- and join our waiting list for donor-funded scholarships -- by completing this two-minute form.
Whether you take our free course, join our Mentorship Program, or launch a district-wide partnership, our goal is always the same: to give you tools to build classrooms that respond to every student's needs.
We hope you'll find something here that helps!
