Abstract
Oakland Unified School District (OUSD), in collaboration with a
consortium of community and university partners, will improve high school
students' academic achievement in social studies and language arts through
the system-wide implementation of Urban Dreams, an innovative,
standards-based and technology-embedded reform program that engages
students, teachers, parents and other community members. Building upon
research in best practices for teaching and learning as well as for
community engagement, the Urban Dreams Technology Integration Program
relies heavily upon:
 | new pedagogical and learning approaches as the basis for its Student
Project Based Research Investigations component;
| | an ongoing 5-year Professional Development Program with recognized
historians and literary scholars as instructors, peer support models
(i.e., professional dialogue circles and peer coaching) for more
reflective practice and implementation of new skills and information,
and creative distance learning and teaching opportunities,
| | consistent and progressive parent and community education. |
The Urban Dreams project utilizes quantitative and qualitative measures
to document the district's reform process, assess the consortium's
progress toward meeting goals and objectives while subsequently providing
ongoing evaluative information for program refinement. Urban Dreams
addresses the academic and career needs of more than 11,000 urban
secondary students in Oakland's ethnically and linguistically diverse
community while concurrently building the district's capacity to sustain
project outcomes through a more skilled teaching force, and a more engaged
parent-community partnership.
