Teachers at this Pennsylvania school have adapted the Modern Classrooms model to work with elementary grades, by designing color-coded pictorial unit “road maps,” creating teacher-made videos with prompts for students to pause and practice new skills, and offering must-do, should-do, and aspire-to-do lessons within each unit.
Learn more about this approach from the nonprofit organization the Modern Classrooms Project, which offers a free online course along with many more resources for student-centered blended learning.
