Erin Williams
Senior Consultant
Erin Williams is a senior consultant at Public Impact®, focusing primarily on assisting schools and districts with Opportunity Culture® design and implementation to extend the reach of excellent teachers and their teams, and on executive coaching to build strong instructional teams and develop leadership capacity. Before joining the team, Williams has served as a teacher, facilitator, Multi-Classroom Leader™ educator, and program specialist. In the Multi-Classroom Leader™ role, she led teams of teachers to improve instructional practices through the creation of standards-based lesson design, the use of data-driven protocols, and the implementation of coaching/feedback cycles, which resulted in her teams’ students exceeding expected learning growth and proficiency in reading. As a program specialist, she provided job-embedded coaching and support to teacher-leaders in Opportunity Culture® schools, and created role-specific instructional and coaching pathways to support new and advanced teacher-leader positions. In this role, she also became a certified VitalSmarts trainer in the areas of crucial conversations, crucial accountability, and influencer, which she used to support the implementation of Opportunity Culture® roles in schools. Williams holds an M.A in educational leadership from Winthrop University in South Carolina, and a B.A in elementary and middle school education from Elmhurst University in Illinois.
