#12. For N.C. Superintendent, Opportunity Culture® Teams Lead to a “Return on Instructional Investment”

Superintendent Cindy Bennett meets with Vance County’s Casey Jackson, who leads the district’s Opportunity Culture® work.

Since 2017, the Vance County, N.C., school system has used Opportunity Culture® teaching teams to improve teacher retention and student learning. How has the district sustained implementation through a pandemic and transition to a new superintendent? Superintendent Cindy Bennett discusses what the district values in the support these teams provide, and how it continues to learn and adjust its use of the model—with a focus on Aycock Elementary, now in year six of implementation and exceeding the state’s expectations for student learning growth.
