Summary
Kareem Farah, CEO and Co-Founder of the Modern Classrooms Project, joins us for an organizational spotlight podcast episode. Kareem began his career as a high school math teacher in Hawaii and Washington, DC. Instead of using a traditional lecture model, Kareem taught mathematics through a blended model where students accessed content through his self-made videos. In 2018, he received the DC Public Schools Award for Classroom Innovation and was featured in Edutopia and CBS News for his work. In an effort to scale his classroom model, Kareem co-founded the Modern Classrooms Project. Under his leadership, the Modern Classrooms Project equips teachers to redesign their classrooms with blended, self-paced, mastery-based practices that personalize learning and strengthen student engagement, while preserving the human connection at the heart of great teaching. Kareem is also a member of Honored’s Board of Directors. You'll hear about: - The Modern Classrooms Project's mission and initiatives. - The impact of self-paced learning on student success, teacher burnout, and teacher retention. - The incredible work the Modern Classroom Project is doing in supporting teachers who want to move beyond the traditional teaching method. - The Modern Classrooms Project's amazing success with its instructional model.
