Opportunity Culture
We implemented Opportunity Culture at Phillips Middle School in August 2017. At the end of 2018, we reviewed our data and determined we did not want to continue an EIT position. Phillips decided to keep the Math MCL.
Based on data in spring of 2019, the team has decided to turn the MCL 1 position into an MCL 2 position to expand their reach. |
Leveraging Social Media
We are using Facebook, Instragram, and Twitter to recruit and attract talent to our school.
