关于我们
Extending the reach of excellent teachers and their teams to more students, for more pay, within regular budgets: That’s the aim of Opportunity Culture? strategic staffing models. In schools around the country, this Public Impact initiative gives teachers more time to plan and collaborate, lets them advance without leaving the classroom, and provides everyone with more support; students get personalized, high-standards instruction that helps them close achievement gaps and leap ahead. Learn much more at OpportunityCulture.org, including the results of an independent research study showing large student learning gains. What do teachers and principals say about Opportunity Culture? ? “I think it’s an amazing opportunity that you just cannot get anywhere else.” ? “The best part of working in an Opportunity Culture is the support.” ? “If you want to support your kids, you have to support your teachers.” ? “I just feel like I’ve gone from a first-year teacher to a third-year teacher in six months.” ? “With Opportunity Culture and the multi-classroom leader position, I pretty much have the best of both worlds.” ? “This is a game-changer. This is the thing that makes a difference in the schools.” ? “Students at all ability levels are feeling success academically…you’re able to differentiate more.” ? “You need to go somewhere that has this.” To hear and read more, watch our videos and read columns by teachers at OpportunityCulture.org.

Flexible, team-oriented school staffing models—like our grantees Public Impact, Education Consultants’ Opportunity Culture initiative and Arizona State University Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College’s Next Education Workforce—disrupt the traditional “one-teacher, one-classroom” approach, with benefits for both students and educators. “A student might spend some time receiving direct instruction from a master teacher, then work in small groups, or practice a skill by themselves,” explains Chad Aldeman. “From a teacher’s perspective, the teams replace isolation with collaboration and make the job more sustainable. Team members work together to identify student needs and plan instruction. This approach helps beginners transition into the classroom and gives team members time to compare notes, which can also help if the district is pursuing some large initiative such as adopting a new curriculum."

??? "Time is precious in education, and Opportunity Culture? models let me make every second count." Teaching team leader Brian Tavenner shares how shifting from traditional whole-group instruction to extensive use of small groups transformed his ability to connect with students. Instead of rushing around the classroom, reaching only a few students during class, he can address common challenges in small groups and see what each student needs--and meet that need. More effective teaching. More meaningful learning. This is the power of Opportunity Culture? staffing models. ??Hear more in 3 podcast episodes about Winchester Public Schools : https://loom.ly/sCsGC48

When all five of the largest districts in North Carolina use Opportunity Culture models, and when NC has the most schools among the 14 states that have used these models thanks in part to bipartisan legislative support for advanced teaching roles, we feel the love! Thanks for letting spread the word even further, North Carolina School Boards Association! https://lnkd.in/efbFywwk

"We love Opportunity Culture roles!" So glad to be in my home state! It is so exciting to be in a space where educators have designed and implemented Opportunity Culture models in their districts AND where educators are learning about the initiative for the first time. It was an amazing opportunity to share and learn. Thank you to the North Carolina School Boards Association for having us!

As so many teaching team leaders tell us, these roles create "the best of both worlds" for them--leading adults without leaving the classroom!

"So this is real, true teacher leadership!" A Virginia educator said after I described Opportunity Culture roles.
