Growing Community: Increasing Connectedness for Oakland USD's McKinney Vento, Foster, and Newcomer Youth

Monday April 28, 2025 11:00am - 12:15pm PDT

System-impacted students need ways to build a sense of belonging, agency, and academic identity through meaningful relationships. However, many adult practices are disconnected from students’ best interests and are based on a system that is not designed for marginalized youth to successfully graduate. Upon recognizing this disconnect, Oakland Unified School District leaders came together across departments to address these issues and focus on equity.

This interactive presentation will offer experiential learning on OUSD’s journey by highlighting the value of student-centered design, exploring student-led research strategies to address chronic absenteeism, and unpacking student well-being and relationship data.

Behavioral threat assessment teams in schools are essential for identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential threats to ensure a safe learning environment. These multidisciplinary teams, comprised of educators, mental health professionals, law enforcement, and administrators, work collaboratively to evaluate concerning behaviors and intervene before situations escalate. By focusing on prevention and early intervention, they provide support to individuals in crisis while addressing potential risks. This proactive approach fosters a culture of safety and trust, reduces disciplinary actions, and promotes well-being. Behavioral threat assessment teams are a vital component of comprehensive school safety strategies, protecting both students and staff.

Climate & Culture: Fostering Inclusive School Communities: Reducing Suspensions and Expulsions

Monday April 28, 2025 2:30pm - 3:45pm PDT

TBA

This session adopts an equity-centered approach by prioritizing the needs and dignity of all students, particularly those from historically marginalized or underserved communities. The focus on restorative practices ensures that disciplinary measures are fair, inclusive, and non-punitive, addressing the root causes of misconduct rather than perpetuating exclusionary practices like suspensions and expulsions, which disproportionately impact students of color, students with disabilities, and other vulnerable populations.
By integrating effective threat management, the session also emphasizes proactive strategies that ensure a safe learning environment for all students, preventing biased or inequitable responses to potential safety concerns. The goal is to create a supportive school culture that values each student’s unique circumstances, fosters a sense of belonging, and promotes personal and academic growth through guidance, relationship-building, and access to resources.
This holistic approach helps dismantle systemic barriers, promotes equity in school discipline, and ensures that every student has the opportunity to succeed in a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment.
