Public Impact has launched a new website, OpportunityCulture.org. The site focuses on “extending the reach of excellent teachers using job redesign and technology.” The site is divided into four main sections:
- Why This Matters: What research says about the impact excellent teachers have on student learning.
- Redesigning Schools: More than 20 models that show how to extend the reach of excellent teachers to more students, within budget. This section also includes suggestions for providing multiple career paths for teachers that tie in with the school models.
- Reforming Policy: How to clear barriers and create the will to reach all students with excellent teachers—fast.
- The Opportunity Culture Initiative: This section details Public Impact’s work in disseminating new school models, calls for model school participants, and details how the models could be implemented nationally.
The site also contains a news feed that brings together relevant resources from other education sites that may be of interest. To view the new site, please visit http://www.opportunityculture.org
