New Opportunity Culture® Videos: Teacher Residencies; Collaborative Spaces

by | October 5, 2022

Check out our latest short videos, showing how Opportunity Culture® residencies help schools create teacher pipelines and increase student support, and how one school’s building design enhances team collaboration.

Opportunity Culture® Teacher Residencies: Ector County and Midland school districts are two of the 11 Texas sites currently using Opportunity Culture® paid, yearlong teacher residencies. Teacher residents are an integral part of small teaching teams led by multi-classroom leaders. Educators from these Texas districts describe how their residencies benefit students, schools, and aspiring teachers.

Building Space for Collaborative Instruction: In this short video, see how one school’s room designs, including moveable walls, proved “perfect” for Opportunity Culture® teams and their students. While such design is not needed for Opportunity Culture® implementation, it has made collaboration even easier for multi-classroom leader teams in this Midland, Texas, school.
