Michelle White
Consultant
Michelle White is a 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. Before joining the team, White served in the Multi-Classroom Leader™ (MCL™) role, and before that as a teacher, facilitator, and leadership coach. As an MCL™ educator, she led teams of teachers to improve instructional practices using data-driven protocols and coaching/feedback cycles, which resulted in her teams’ students exceeding expected learning growth in math. As a facilitator, she was instrumental in the development of an innovative dropout prevention program that provided intensive academic and social-emotional support for high school students, which resulted in an increase in the overall cohort graduation and college acceptance rates. As a leadership coach, she supported Teach For America corps members through targeted coaching and personalized workshops. Using the skills gained from these roles, White developed a beginning teacher and mentor development program that led to her school being named a “master school of distinction” by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. White holds an M.Ed. in curriculum, instruction, and assessment from Walden University in Minnesota, and a B.S. in mathematics with a focus on secondary education from Grand Valley State University in Michigan. In addition, she holds a certificate in executive leadership from Gardner-Webb University in North Carolina.
