Edgecombe County Public Schools

What is Opportunity Culture?

In sync with your mission. Tailored for your triumph. That's Opportunity Culture for you. We dedicate ourselves to offering teachers and paraprofessionals career growth and advancement opportunities rooted in their excellence, leadership, and impact on students. Instructional Staff can increase their earnings by broadening their influence and assuming greater responsibilities within the school, all while remaining in the classroom. In an Opportunity Culture, every teacher and staff member has the opportunity to unlock their potential through collaboration with, and guidance from, outstanding educators.

The Five Design Principles of Opportunity Culture:

• Reach more students with excellent teachers and their teams.

• Pay teachers more for extending their reach.

• Fund pay within regular budgets.

• Provide protected in-school time and clarity about how to use it for planning, collaboration and development.

• Match authority and accountability to each person’s responsibilities.

Opportunity Culture Is District-Wide in ECPS!
