  • Sustaining Teacher Diversity
    • Next Thursday, 12/6, in partnership with Oakland USD’s Talent Division, BE3 is organizing a forum about sustaining teacher diversity in Oakland schools. The GSE’s Travis Bristol will share some research and questions, followed by a panel of respondents and group discussions among attendees. We invite teachers, teacher-leaders, prospective teachers, and others in the school community concerned with supporting and retaining teachers of color in OUSD schools to the conversation.
  • UPA Celebrates One Decade of “Morning Boost”- Making a Difference with Long-Term ELLs in Oakland
    • Founded in 2008, the Morning Boost program (which now also has afternoon sessions) has contributed to Urban Promise Academy’s exceptionally high reclassification rate each year. In 2017-18, 35.7% of LTELS reclassified, compared to district average of 14.4%. Below, two founders share insights into Boost’s impact and journey over the past decade.
  • Featuring Locally Grown Public Schools: Lighthouse’s homegrown teacher
    • Esquivel is in his first year of teaching at Lighthouse. Like his students, he knows what it’s like to be a kid growing up in Oakland, attending Oakland public schools. In fact, he was a student at Lighthouse himself and part of the first graduating class in 2009.
  • Thingamakids: Oakland students make music from scratch
    • Thingamajigs, an Oakland-based organization founded in 2004 to champion music made with found materials, teaches younger students to build musical instruments from scratch in a project they call Thingamakids. In the last week of October, David Samas, a teaching artist with Thingamajigs, taught a weeklong workshop at charter school East Bay Innovation Academy on “sound engineering,” where students learned about physics, design, and mathematics by making their own instruments and learning about how they make sound.
  • The Pitiful Options for Black Families in Oakland and What We Can Do
    • If you are a Black child in Oakland you have a snowball’s chance in hell of attending a high performing school that is making progress. A 1% chance according to the latest data from Oakland Achieves when it comes to math.  I am not joking.  And even worse about 2/3rds of our children are in schools that are below the state average and losing ground in reading and math.  Reading and math.  These are our public schools– district and charter.
  • VIDEO: OUSD Budget Cuts Update
    • In just over a month OUSD will announce plans to address what they have identified to date as a $30M structural deficit. Simply put – the district’s expenses are increasing while revenues are flat. If the district does not make budget cuts, they risk take over by the county or state.
  • Bargaining Impasse Prompts Work Stoppage At Oakland High Monday
    • Oakland High School teachers are planning a work stoppage Monday with a march to City Hall to call attention to the bargaining impasse between the school district and the teacher’s union, organizers said.
  • Oakland High’s YSA 1st Assembly!
    • Congrats to the new Yemeni Student Association at Oakland High on their 1st cultural assembly celebrating Yemen’s Independence Day & the Islamic New Year! Clubs give our students a chance to shine, celebrate who they are & where they come from, and be seen by their classmates & teachers in a new way.
  • A Powerful Summer Reading Program; A Parent’s Perspective on What Their Family Learned from Springboard
    • This past summer my children took part in the OUSD Springboard. I was skeptical putting them into this program at first but I knew I wanted them to be in a reading program over the summer.  This program is well worth the time and effort in order to enhance your child’s reading.
  • Ousd Officials Advise Educators To Not Participate In Sickout Monday
    • The Oakland Unified School District has issued a warning to Oakland High School teachers planning a work stoppage Monday to not call-in sick, according to district officials…The teachers plan to march to City Hall to call attention to a bargaining impasse between the school district and the teacher’s union, organizers said.
  • OUSD Budget Update: Stakeholder Feedback and Preparing First Interim Report
    • As you may know, we face some significant financial challenges and this year’s budget development process brings the added challenge of improving quality in our schools while reducing costs. To do that, our budget is rooted in our mission, vision, and the Board of Education’s policies. We also have to align to state and federal mandates and policies.
  • Oakland School District Warns Teachers Planning Work Stoppage Not to Call In Sick
    • The Oakland Unified School District has issued a warning to Oakland High School teachers planning a work stoppage Monday to not call in sick, according to district officials.

California:

  • Redwood City School District says it was forced to close 4 schools
    • The Redwood City School District has decided to close four schools, citing low enrollment and budget troubles. They voted on the matter at last night’s board meeting, following months of discussion.
  • Toward Understanding Racial Disparities in Arrests
    • With tensions between law enforcement and minority communities continuing to make headlines, media outlets and academic researchers both report stark racial and ethnic differences in criminal justice experiences, including sentencing and incarceration. The disparity between African Americans and whites is especially striking. For example, the prison incarceration rate in California is 4,180 per 100,000 residents for African American men, compared with 420 for white men. It is likely that this inequality is significantly affected by the first step in the criminal justice process—arrests.
  • Autistic student, 13, dies after being restrained at California school
    • A 13-year-old student has died after being restrained at a school for autistic students in California. The Sacramento Bee reports that the California Department of Education has suspended the certification of he Guiding Hands School in El Dorado Hills as it investigates the circumstances around the fatal incident on Nov. 28.
  • School Where Student With Autism Died Violated State Regulations, Officials Say
    • A school in California where a student on the autism spectrum died last week after being physically restrained violated several state regulations, according to findings from a preliminary investigation by the state’s Department of Education.
  • California Is 1 Of Only 8 States Without A System To Track Students from Pre-K To The Workforce. Why?
    • California Governor-elect Gavin Newsom praised his “cradle-to-career” education plan throughout his campaign. One of his goals is to establish a data system that tracks kids from early childhood through college and into the workforce. It’s been a topic of conversation for more than a decade, yet a system still doesn’t exist. California is one of only eight states without a data system that can help answer questions about how policy affects students in the long-run.
