Uplift Education Joins National Initiative, Opportunity Culture®, to Reach Students with Excellent Teaching

From Accesswire, April 14, 2022

DALLAS, Texas—Uplift Education is thrilled to announce that they have joined the growing, national Opportunity Culture® movement to reach all students with excellent teaching, to help students meet their academic goals and leap ahead. Uplift has partnered with Tarleton State University, Public Impact®, and US PREP to design and implement innovative roles that provide powerful support for all educators in a select group of Tarrant County schools. Funding for the initial design planning and implementation is provided in part by grants from the Fort Worth Education Partnership and Sid W. Richardson Foundation.

Opportunity Culture® enables schools to reach every student with excellent teachers, while paying them more, sustainably, for their extra responsibilities, and helping all educators improve on the job and work collaboratively. Two independent Opportunity Culture® studies-one looking at a Texas district-show large student learning gains: https://www.opportunityculture.org/research/.
