The Opportunity Culture: Extending Great Teaching

Meets ISLLC Standard 2

Teacher and ClassResearch shows that, on average, students who have the best teachers (those in the top 20-25%) make about three times more progress than students who have the least effective teachers. Bryan Hassel, co-director of Public Impact, a national education policy and management consulting organization, joins us to explain how to create an Opportunity Culture in schools, where the excellent teachers are able to reach many more students and these teachers are rewarded with higher pay within the existing budget. Hassel also discusses a pilot program in three schools in the Metro Nashville Public School System in Tennessee where the schools are putting this model into practice.
