Opportunity BasketTeacher Tuition Co-op & Employer Matching Network
A membership-based cooperative that pools teacher tuition payments with district/charter employer commitments. Teachers join a co-op chapter (regional or by subject area), commit to 2–3 years of post-degree employment with a participating employer, and receive 40–60% tuition subsidies funded by employer contributions + co-op reserves. Districts get talent pipeline guarantees; teachers get affordable advancement without debt.

Value Proposition
Beats scholarships (limited, competitive, one-time) and loans (debt burden). Beats employer tuition reimbursement (only 15% of teachers have access; requires upfront payment). This model: (1) spreads cost across employers + co-op members, (2) guarantees employment outcome (reducing default risk), (3) scales horizontally by region/subject, (4) creates recurring revenue for the operator.
Target Audience
Public school teachers ages 25–45 in mid-career seeking Master's degrees, teaching certifications, or subject specializations; school districts and charter networks in mid-size metros (100K–500K population) with chronic staffing gaps.

- Employer matching dashboard showing participating districts, tuition subsidy rates, and commitment terms
