Oakland Schools has been working to augment special programs promoting real-world learning experiences across the district. The Oakland Schools Technical Campuses (OSTC), where students can take part in automotive courses, are the perfect example.
Recently, Ford Motor Co. donated a new Ford Mustang to OSTC-Northeast so students could learn about modern vehicle technology. The automotive technology program will integrate the car into classroom instruction to strengthen students’ technical and diagnostic skills.
At OSTC-Southeast, automotive technology students have been exploring potential career pathways with facility visits to dealerships, independent repair shops and prototype vehicle facilities across the county. This work-based learning experience exposes students to future opportunities in the field.
Other opportunities at Oakland Schools Technical Campuses include strong cosmetology and culinary programs where students can gain hands-on experience in specific fields prior to graduation.
How Oakland Schools is navigating AI use in classrooms
As AI tools become more integrated in classrooms, students and educators are navigating ways to responsibly use and access AI. Parents should look for district policies on ethical use, data privacy and student access.
Since September, Justin Bruno has served as Oakland Schools’ director of AI strategy and innovation, a role focused on guiding how artificial intelligence is used in teaching and learning. Bruno’s position, as well as the school board, aims to support educators in responsibly using artificial intelligence to enhance instruction and student learning.
The district has been working to create professional learning for teachers and frameworks for student-centered AI use in the classroom.
