To help Opportunity Culture® multi-classroom leaders, their teaching teams, and other teachers lead student success, Public Impact® has added to its suite of instructional excellence support. Our tools and professional development are based on experiences and feedback of top Opportunity Culture® educators, as well as hard research.

We provide a free, full set of tools on Instructional Leadership and Excellence to help educators master each element—free training, teaching team study guides, educator videos, and other help for teachers, multi-classroom leaders, principals, and others in Opportunity Culture® schools.

New instructional excellence tools:

  • Instructional Excellence Support Guide: Overview and Support Tool—This guide provides detailed actions for each element in the Instructional Excellence Summary, and help for multi-classroom leaders in using that detail to guide and support teachers. Two detailed action lists are linked (Connect; Lead the Classroom), with more coming in 2020.
  • Instructional Excellence Summary—This handy tool summarizes the critical elements of instructional excellence in one page. It is based on the strategies of outstanding, high-growth teachers who have worked in schools served by Public Impact® and the common elements of several leading instructional experts, whose work is listed within. See the two new action lists (Connect; Lead the Classroom) below; action lists show key steps for each element in the Instructional Excellence Summary.
