Public Impact is a national education management consulting firm , based in Chapel Hill, N.C. Our mission is to improve education dramatically for all students, especially students whose needs have not yet been well met. We collaborate with teachers and school and system leaders to implement changes that will help the students they serve, and believe that if we focus on a core set of promising strategies for change, we and our partners and clients can make bold improvements for all students, with long-term financial sustainability and success.

Toward that end, we :

• Extend the reach of excellent teaching to all students, through Opportunity Culture School Design , an initiative to redesign staffing, pay and instruction for higher-growth learning and educator satisfaction. Multiple third-party studies have shown that students supported by Multi-Classroom Leader educators (an Opportunity Culture role) add an extra half year of learning annually, on average. Teachers in these schools are about twice as likely to recommend teaching compared to other teachers nationally, and teacher turnover and vacancies have declined in studied schools. Schools in seventeen states and Washington, D.C. now have Opportunity Culture schools.
• Use data, research, and curious problem-solving to create and spread high-impact innovations and solutions for education policy and management challenges.

Role

Consultants work on teams facilitating Opportunity Culture school transformations, using Multi-Classroom Leader roles, Team Reach roles, advanced paraprofessional positions, and other innovative strategies to boost student learning and educator pay. Consultants support school and district design teams made up of teachers and administrators to plan, implement and improve new roles, schedules, budgets, and instructional changes, including small-group tutoring. Team members may also work on other projects, such as delivering professional learning experiences for OC educators, coaching teacher-leaders and principals, designing innovations, and creating / editing materials. Career advancement includes increasingly complex and large project team leadership, people management, increasing technical expertise to improve results, and outreach to serve more students nationally.

Consultants should expect to :
