Our Strategic Staffing Initiative
Public Impact® created and leads the Opportunity Culture® initiative, the nation’s largest and most successful school staffing design effort. We are the most experienced school and staffing transformation service in the U.S., helping districts since 2013 to use our staffing models to bring about robust educator support, sustainable higher pay, and strong student results. We are committed to educator development and success, and our design and professional learning services boast high client satisfaction.
THE STRATEGY
Using Innovative Staffing
Our models help schools address persistent educational challenges of lagging student learning and teacher shortages. The models use small teaching teams to provide increased small-group teaching and tutoring for students, with team leadership from an excellent teacher, and create yearlong, paid teacher residencies and well-paid, sustainable career paths.

Multi-Classroom Leader™ Teams
THE RESULTS
Strong Learning Growth
Third-party studies found that, on average, students gain an extra half-year of learning growth when their teachers are on these teams, many of which included advanced teaching and paraprofessional roles. Teachers who joined the teams moved from producing 50th percentile student learning growth to 77th percentile.
“[This] is truly an innovative and immersive experience for educators to share their excellence and coach others, all while moving students in meaningful ways."
—Baltimore City Public Schools Teacher of the Year
"With the coaching that our [team leaders] are providing to our teachers, we saw an increase in the number of teachers who outperform the state in terms of growth of students."
—District Superintendent
"It’s something that I wish every school and every teacher and every student could experience."
—Elementary School Teaching Team Leader
