February 25, 2022

In this first Opportunity Culture® Audio piece, we hear from Jenny O’Meara, who until 2021 served as a principal for a middle school using Opportunity Culture® roles. O’Meara worked in Edgecombe County Public Schools in a rural part of North Carolina, which has taken its Opportunity Culture® implementation district-wide. After stepping away from her principalship, she sat for an interview about her Opportunity Culture® experience, including reflections on working with her school’s first multi-classroom leader, or MCL, and valuable lessons to share with current principals.
