Opportunity Culture® Toolkit

A Design and Implementation Guide for Education Leaders

Overview-cover-thumbnailOpportunity Culture® Toolkit [web page]

This toolkit helps schools and districts create an Opportunity Culture® for students and teachers, in which all students have access to excellent teachers and their teaching teams, consistently, and all teachers have well-paid, financially sustainable career advancement opportunities and rigorous, job-embedded development. The toolkit offers step-by-step guidance for choosing and implementing the school models that allow great teachers and their teams to extend their reach to more students, for more pay, within budget.

This toolkit will help leaders of districts, schools, and charter management organizations engage their boards, central staff, school leaders, and teachers in the development, implementation, and refinement of an Opportunity Culture® in their schools. Partners helping education leaders with organizing, school design, technology, or other elements of the change process will also find this valuable.
