Our Virtual Mentorship Program (VMP) offers educators a guided, hands-on experience to learn our model and generate classroom-ready materials to launch your Modern Classroom through tailored support from a mentor educator.
What is the VMP?
The Mentorship Program is a self-paced, asynchronous course with suggested deadlines for coursework throughout. Once enrolled, you will be paired with an Expert Mentor, hold introductory and continuous coaching calls, and submit a series of lessons through our course platform, with actionable feedback from your Expert Mentor.
You can expect to spend about 25-30 hours working on your course submissions with guidance from your mentor.
