Gia Truong, Executive Officer of Leadership, Curriculum, and Instruction in OUSD and participant in the New Leaders for New Schools program will open the evening with an overview of the work and impact of New Leaders for New Schools (NLNS) in Oakland.

Next, Matt Kelemen of NLNS will present highlights from Evaluating Principals, a recent white paper released by the organization, highlighting ideas for the design and implementation of evaluation systems to increase principal effectiveness.

A panel of Oakland education stakeholders, including principals, teachers, and parents, will respond to the ideas presented, considering how the research applies to Oakland's public schools. Panelists include Jerome Gourdine, Principal of Frick Middle School, Monica Thomas, Principal of Greenleaf Elementary, Enikia Ford-Morthel, Principal of Cox Academy, Karen Pezzetti, teacher at Life Academy, and Emma Paulino, Oakland parent and OCO lead organizer.

Finally, you will have the opportunity to break into small groups to reflect on, discuss, and provide input to the Oakland community on the topics of the evening.
