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 () Supporting Powerful Graduates (), Creating Inspiring Schools ()  Growing a Diverse and Stable Staff ()

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.

What we offer teachers:

Oakland Unified has received substantial funding to support pathway programs including tuition and debt relief for selected middle school teachers, Special Education teachers, and for pathway programs, including Classified-to-Teacher, Maestr@s, and the After-School-to-Teacher programs.

We provide extensive professional development and training for teachers, innovative curricula, ongoing mentoring and advancement opportunities.
