Our Mission and Vision
The Oakland Unified School District’s mission is to build a Full Service Community District focused on high academic achievement while serving the whole child, eliminating inequity, and providing each child with excellent teachers, every day.
Our vision is that all OUSD students will find joy in their academic experience while graduating with the skills to ensure they are caring, competent, fully-informed, critical thinkers who are prepared for college, career, and community success.
Our Strategic Plan
The four key initiatives of our current district wide strategic plan are:
* Ensuring Strong Third Grader Readers (Catalyze citywide effort to guarantee literacy for all third graders)
* Supporting Powerful Graduates (Develop essential skills to secure post secondary success),
* Creating Inspiring Schools (Redesign schools to be places of joy, inclusion and beauty)
* Growing a Diverse and Stable Staff (Attract and retain staff reflective of Oakland’s rich diversity)
We are seeking educators who believe that:
* Building and maintaining caring relationships with students and families is a key part of the foundation of teaching;
* Maintaining high expectations for all students is best accomplished through a persistent asset-based lens of what students can do;
* Your actions can directly lead to creating more equitable conditions in public schools;
* Your work is most effective in collaboration with colleagues, families, and students;
* Developing as an anti-racist educator requires investing time in self-reflection, listening and incorporating feedback from students, their families, other educators, and school leaders and is critical to your growth as an educator and leader.
* Working for racial justice requires close attention to educational systems and policies, and working to eliminate racism is critical to the educational success of all students.
In addition to professional development and training, we offer a comprehensive compensation package that includes:
* Competitive salaries determined by experience, education level, and credentials
* We accept up to twelve years of full time teaching experience in other school settings on the salary schedule (please see our salary schedule here: https://www.
