by | April 15, 2025

Out today: Public Impact Co-President Bryan Hassel and Senior Vice President Kendall King joined the Learning Can’t Wait podcast, sharing the background, results, and new possibilities of the Opportunity Culture initiative. To get motivated about giving every student access to excellent teaching, every year, and every teacher access to an excellent career, listen as they explore how teaching teams led by excellent educators, incorporating far more in-school small-group teaching and tutoring and providing intensive support to the teams, transform schools, results, and pay, sustainably and at scale.

“Whether you’re a teacher, policymaker, funder, or advocate, this episode will leave you inspired by what’s possible when we reimagine how schools are staffed and supported.”—The Learning Can’t Wait podcast

Thanks to Fullmind Learning and host Hayley Spira-Bauer for the opportunity to dive into the details of Opportunity Culture strategic staffing!
