Portal User Log-inPublic Impact was founded in 1996 to research, evaluate, and try new solutions to improve education for all students, especially those who were historically underserved.
The firm’s focus on developing solutions that were grounded in research, boosted student learning dramatically, and could be scaled up to reach all students led to the publication of 3X for All in 2009. This envisioned a path to “extend the reach” of excellent teachers and their teams to more students—for higher pay, sustainably.
To put the vision into action nationwide, Public Impact began to develop the 3X for All ideas, with significant (and ongoing) input from educators—publishing detailed job models, financial models, and school schedules. Those became the foundation for the national Opportunity Culture initiative, which Public Impact leads by helping schools plan and implement their new designs.
Schools began using Opportunity Culture models in 2013; models, supporting materials, and Public Impact consulting continue to be updated based on data and educator feedback. The growth and results of the initiative are tracked on our website’s dashboard.
Partner with us to bring Opportunity Culture models to your district, or work with Public Impact to spread Opportunity Culture!
