Opportunity Culture® multi-classroom leaders, blended-learning teachers, elementary school subject specialists, and principals are contributing to a monthly series of columns on RealClearEducation.com.
These pioneering educators have been critical to refining the Opportunity Culture® initiative and materials that support the creation of an Opportunity Culture®, aimed at meeting our collective, ambitious goals to reach all students with excellent teaching consistently and provide outstanding career opportunities for teachers, too.
The best way to understand these new roles and models is to hear straight from those educators themselves. We encourage you to read their thoughts, because they are leading this work where it counts: in schools.
