School-Year Professional Learning 2023-24

Opportunity Culture educators and district personnel continue to develop their leadership and instructional skills in virtual sessions throughout the year.

During the school year, we offer virtual professional learning sessions to help your Opportunity Culture educators succeed, timed to address topics and needs as they are likely to arise throughout the year. Currently, we offer professional learning for Opportunity Culture school leaders, multi-classroom leaders, team reach teachers, and reach associates, as well as district personnel.

For questions about school-year professional learning, please contact us at professionallearning@publicimpact.com.

Session Types:

• Content Learning Sessions are developed using best Opportunity Culture practices, follow adult learning principles, and allow for participant practice.
