“Teachers Are Screaming for This Level of Support": Charlotte Superintendent Crystal Hill

 For Charlotte-Mecklenburg Superintendent Crystal Hill, leading 185 schools and 141,000 students, success means providing deep support for a staff that now sees 60 percent of its teachers coming from a non-traditional background. The district, a pioneer in piloting Opportunity Culture® team teaching models and in quickly scaling up to many more schools, posted dramatic learning growth results in 2024–24. What has it taken to get there, and how will the district try to sustain those results? Dr. Hill shares her thoughts with host Sharon Kebschull Barrett and Public Impact® Co-President Bryan Hassel. "Your teachers will thank you, because they are screaming for this level of support. Our most recent teacher working conditions surveys last year…specifically in the areas of professional development, coaching, support, those were our strongest areas, and I believe it’s because of this model." —Dr. Crystal HillRelated Links:Transcript: “Teachers Are Screaming for This Level of Support":  Charlotte Superintendent Crystal Hill Blog Post: Up to 3X Rate of High Learning Growth with Opportunity Culture Designs—New DataPress Release: North Carolina Data: Up To 3X More Learning Growth in Schools Using Opportunity Culture Staffing Designs
