  • Books! Books! Books!

    Funded Aug 23, 2018

    Thank you all for taking part in making this project a reality! I cannot begin to describe the impact that this project has had on my classroom. The books have arrived and my students began reading "The Color Purple" by Alice Walker immediately.

    Students are analyzing Celie's motivations, actions, and intentions. I can already see the difference this text is making in the level of engagement in my classroom. This has led to deep conversations about race, class, and gender, and we have even made connections beyond to classroom to the #metoo movement.

EBIA is rethinking how schools are run and structured, so that they better reflect the needs of a 21st century world. Most schools have not changed their structure, organization, facilities or instruction in over 50 years. While schools have not changed, our world has, leaving many of our schools, even the "best" ones, behind. EBIA offers a powerful option for Oakland families and educators to build a diverse school that addresses the needs of the 21st century and beyond.
