CHAPEL HILL, N.C.—Public Impact has created new schedule examples for at-home learning, either full-day or half-day, for elementary and secondary school Opportunity Culture multi-classroom leader teams and their students. During this unprecedented crisis, the right schedules, along with videoconferencing, can help keep students and educators emotionally connected, while ensuring continued instructional excellence by teaching teams.
These materials will help schools provide students with face-to-face connections with each teacher and classmates, optimize use of other online learning, limit total screen time, and provide flexibility for when technology shortcomings and family disruptions affect students. Read the materials:

More help for Opportunity Culture schools during the COVID-19 crisis is available here, with more to come.
The national Opportunity Culture initiative, founded by Public Impact and now in about 30 sites in ten states, extends the reach of excellent teachers and their teams to more students, for more pay, within schools’ recurring budgets.
