How are Opportunity Culture® models—which bring excellent teaching to many more students, with sustainably higher pay for educators—helping Texas schools and students even in a time of pandemic stress and teacher shortages? And how can they help schools around the country strengthen their teacher pipelines as well?

Join Public Impact® on May 24, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. ET, for an online gathering of state and district leaders from across the country to learn about the Opportunity Culture® initiative and how Opportunity Culture® models allow for sustainable, paid, yearlong teacher residencies. Come hear from a panel of current Opportunity Culture® leaders in Texas, which has led the way in establishing Opportunity Culture® residencies. Dr. Sharon Shields, superintendent of La Vega Independent School District (ISD), Marlene Garcia Sauceda, Opportunity Culture® director in Klein ISD, and Anne Erickson, chief people and innovation officer for Uplift Education, will share why their sites find Opportunity Culture® roles powerful for teachers, and the impact they can have on students, and answer your questions on how you can use Opportunity Culture® to drive ambitious change as well.
