Elementary TK-5
Futures Elementary School is an East Oakland school
dedicated to academic and social success for all students.
Our English Language Arts program has been aligned with
the PALS cohort and has transitioned to Balanced Literacy
with a strong focus on Guided Reading targeted at student’s
individual levels. In math, Futures has continued to work
on Number Talks and Number Sense with an emphasis on
Problem Solving to build student knowledge in mathematics
as we move towards the Common Core. For science, we have
continued to build capacity by having all students participate
in a science fair. Teacher collaboration is critical for effective
instruction, and Futures addresses this by providing teachers
with Professional Learning Communities each week with
the Teacher on Special Assignment or Principal. Social and
Emotional wellness is critical for all students at Futures. To
help support students, Futures has built in extra services
into the school day. Futures has a focus on positive behavior
through Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS). With
EBAC, Futures continues to offer counseling for students.
Through collaboration with Futures Afterschool Academy,
students now participate in structured recess which provides
each class with a coach to play a game during recess time.
Caring School Communities has also created a structure for
teachers to work with students and build community within
the classroom.
