Major work

[edit]

Dr. Hassel co-leads strategy and national outreach for the Opportunity Culture initiative, which redesigns schools to reach more students with excellent teaching teams, boost student learning growth and pay educators more, funded within schools’ regular budgets. The initiative currently serves schools in 12 states and is releasing a low-cost school redesign portal with design tools, educator professional certificates in design, and school certification based on factors correlated with student learning growth over the last decade.

Opportunity Culture schools are primarily public district schools, with limited numbers of public charter schools participating.

In addition, Dr. Hassel has written extensively on charter school excellence and co-designed early national charter authorizing standards, encouraging growth of the best networks and reduction of ineffective schools.

He has written and spoken extensively on these topics, in addition to school finance, school turnarounds, education talent, and more.
