College students at OIHS drop out at almost half the speed that newcomers college students do at different Oakland excessive colleges. The varsity’s success comes largely from the group college mannequin, which co-locates important providers on campus, making certain quick access for college kids and households. The mannequin adheres to the precept of “Maslow earlier than Bloom,” which means that college students should have their fundamental wants met earlier than they’ll absolutely have interaction in studying. “If somebody has an abscessed tooth, they’re not going to have the ability to deal with math,” Markham mentioned. “And if somebody has a pending deportation listening to and no immigration lawyer, they’re not going to be engaged on their group challenge.” OIHS has leveraged the group college mannequin to construct a complete assist system, offering meals, medical, authorized, and psychological well being providers, in order that newcomer college students cannot solely adapt however thrive of their new setting.
Meals providers
With meals costs spiking over the previous yr, many households wrestle to afford nutritious meals. Immigrant households, particularly if they’re undocumented, usually expertise meals insecurity as a result of they’re excluded from federal applications. OIHS companions with a neighborhood meals financial institution to offer meals to college students and their households. Lately, the college elevated its meals financial institution providers from bi-weekly to weekly, with one meals financial institution completely for college kids on campus and one other serving the local people, together with latest graduates.
Madenh Ali Hassan, OIHS’s group college supervisor, emphasised the significance of offering culturally related meals. The meals financial institution ensures that the meals offered displays the dietary wants and cultural preferences of the college’s various households. “It’s at all times candy as a result of all people’s taking what they want, and no one feels ashamed,” Hassan mentioned. “It feels good to feed folks and to see them really feel a way of group right here.”
Medical providers
Many newcomer college students arrive with unmet medical wants, notably asylum seekers and refugees who fled nations in turmoil. “Quite a lot of our college students want immunizations, physicals, or produce other well being points,” Hassan famous. OIHS tries to remove boundaries to college students and households getting medical care. For example, the college hosts yearly flu clinics and brings in cellular imaginative and prescient firms to evaluate and match college students for eyeglasses.
Language boundaries usually forestall households from accessing social providers, so OIHS employees join households with medical providers, usually serving to them translate and fill out vital paperwork. Karen Moya, an OIHS graduate, recalled how her mother and father struggled to navigate new methods after immigrating from Guatemala. “They didn’t have the assist as a result of they didn’t know the place to ask,” she mentioned.
Moya now works as a case supervisor at OIHS, serving to college students navigate comparable challenges. “In the event that they want a dental or imaginative and prescient appointment and don’t have insurance coverage, or in the event that they obtain a letter within the mail they don’t perceive, they create it to us, and we assist.”
To somebody who has lived within the U.S. for many of their life, accessing medical care could seem simple, Moya mentioned. However that’s not true for everybody. “We needless to say these are new households coming to the nation. And so we attempt to clarify and supply each little factor that may be useful to them.”
Authorized providers
Newcomer college students could face complicated authorized proceedings as a consequence of their immigrant standing. The district’s newcomer workplace conducts a proper consumption when college students first arrive, assessing whether or not they or their households have been detained, are unaccompanied, or are undocumented. OIHS then connects college students and households with the suitable authorized providers. Nearly all of college students wouldn’t have attorneys, which means there isn’t any one to clarify a authorized doc they may get within the mail. Bilingual case managers work with households to translate paperwork and work out subsequent steps whether or not it’s making households conscious of a future courtroom date or connecting them with a lawyer.
Psychological well being providers
Newcomer college students could have left their residence nations beneath traumatic circumstances. “There’s plenty of grief round leaving your nation, not to mention the grief brought on by conflict, violence or different occasions that displace folks,” Hassan mentioned.
At OIHS, college students with extreme psychological well being wants are linked with specialists. “By the tip of the yr, we’ll have 90 youngsters linked to psychological well being providers, however that’s by no means sufficient,” Hassan mentioned, noting the necessity for extra bilingual clinicians of coloration.
The varsity additionally tries to deal with psychological well being wants by different on-campus providers. They’ve a wellness heart the place college students can calm down with a cup of tea and join with case managers. In addition they accomplice with a corporation known as Soccer With out Borders, the place soccer coaches double as case managers to supply extra assist to college students.
Whereas the arrival of newcomer college students can pose challenges for some districts, it additionally presents a singular alternative to enhance instructional outcomes by community-based assets. Denver Public Colleges has established specialised group hubs for over 3,500 newcomer college students and their households. Equally, Chicago Public Colleges is piloting a welcome heart to supply important providers to newly arrived college students. Hassan is inspired by these efforts. “We want folks devoted to doing that work outdoors of the classroom to higher assist the work occurring within the classroom,” he mentioned.

Angela LeBlanc-Ernest: You needed to begin envisioning what society wanted to seem like to your baby in the event that they survived. Proper? There’s a sense so lots of them didn’t assume they’d survive
Nimah Gobir: Occasion members began to conceive of a community-based different to the poor instructional experiences they’d as kids. They had been usually disciplined more durable and discouraged from asking questions. Their colleges lacked provides and books, and the curriculum hardly ever included tales of people that appeared like them.
Nimah Gobir: So in response to this they opened the Intercommunal Youth Institute in east Oakland in 1971
Angela LeBlanc-Ernest: It was an outdated church that they transformed into a faculty and so it was a small house. They determined that they needed to start out with the quantity they’d, which was 50 college students.
Nimah Gobir: Step by step, different folks seen that the scholars and households had been being handled properly at this scrappy little residence college the place they used mindfulness practices and restorative justice. College students had been engaged, revered, and studying in an setting that valued their heritage and experiences.
Angela LeBlanc-Ernest: When the group approached the Black Panther Occasion, when it was simply the insular residence college to say, “Hey, are you able to make this out there to the group, to kids locally?” That was a immediate for them to assume extra broadly.
Nimah Gobir: As new folks joined from outdoors of the get together, they started outgrowing the house and they also needed to search for one thing extra everlasting. They modified the title to Oakland Neighborhood Faculty and Black Panther Occasion member Ericka Huggins grew to become the director.
Ericka Huggins: We opened the Oakland Neighborhood Faculty within the college yr of 1973-74.
Nimah Gobir: College students had been ages 5 -12, so it was mainly an elementary college, however there have been no grades. They had been grouped based on their educational skills. In addition they had childcare for youths who had been youthful than 5.
Nimah Gobir: Lots of the college students got here from the Oakland space however some had been coming from the larger bay space too.
Ericka Huggins: We had greater than get together members on employees. Not solely did the folks take their kids out of public college, the general public college academics left, too, to work at… because it was once, nicknamed the Panther Faculty.
Nimah Gobir: This college is particular for lots of causes, however one of many massive causes is that it was one of many earliest variations of group colleges within the nation.
Ericka Huggins: The varsity was group based mostly, baby centered, tuition free, mother or father pleasant and we paid particular consideration to kids whose households had hassle with clothes and meals.
Nimah Gobir: These days once we speak about group colleges, we’re speaking about colleges like this one, that present for the entire baby past teachers. Typically these colleges have the issues that households want positioned at or offered by the college. Oakland Neighborhood Faculty offered groceries to households locally and meals all through the college day.
Ericka Huggins: Three meals a day and I mentioned it was tuition free. The meals had been additionally for the scholars and employees of the college.
Nimah Gobir: If mother and father couldn’t afford town bus. A bus from Oakland Neighborhood Faculty would come decide their youngsters up. They used curriculum that really mirrored the scholars that had been going to the college

We needed them to find out about historical past. We needed them to find out about themselves as folks coming from nice ancestry irrespective of their race or ethnicity. We didn’t ever flip away a scholar as a result of they weren’t Black.
Nimah Gobir: College students on the so-called Panther college had been Black –however they had been additionally Latino they had been white college students they had been Asian college students and biracial college students
Ericka Huggins: When folks see this, they’re shocked, like, oh, why are you shocked? We had been the Black Panther Occasion they usually have to consider what they’ve been advised.
Ericka Huggins: We had been simply courageous and dedicated as a result of it wasn’t straightforward. I would like all people to know that it didn’t simply seem itself as one group college with all angels floating round making issues occur. No, it was onerous work and. However the reward was within the faces of these mother and father and grandparents and aunties and uncles. The faces of the employees. And most significantly, the lives of the youngsters.
Nimah Gobir: After about ten years of operation, The varsity closed in 1982 — This was across the time when The Black Panther Occasion formally dissolved after years of presidency surveillance and assaults. The free breakfast program is believed to have paved the best way for increasing the federal government’s Faculty Breakfast Program, which nonetheless exists at this time. And the Black Panther legacy continues to be in Oakland. For one factor, many members of the Black Panthers are alive at this time and bodily websites throughout town bear the Panthers’ title.
Nimah Gobir: Now, if we quick ahead 40 years, what are Oakland Colleges doing with that legacy? We’ll get into that after the break.
Nimah Gobir: Let’s soar forward to current day Oakland. Angelica was enrolling in tenth grade at Oakland Worldwide Excessive Faculty.
Nimah Gobir: She was 18 years outdated and so nervous. Initially from Guatemala, she didn’t communicate a phrase of English.
Angélica: Mi hermana me inscribió en esta escuela porque ella estuvo en esta escuela y se graduó aquí y pues me sentí nerviosa porque pues no sabía nada del inglés, nada, no entendía nada, nada.
Nimah Gobir: However her sister, who she was staying with on the time, was adamant about her going to high school.
Angélica: Tienes que estudiar. Tienes que aprender. Es te necesito que tú llegas a otro nivel más que yo.
Nimah Gobir: Shortly after enrolling, circumstances for his or her household modified. The entire sudden, Angélica’s sister was offering for her youngsters,2 nephews, and Angelica. It was an excessive amount of.
Angélica: Mi hermana ya no podía con muchos gastos porque ella tiene hijos también y ella tuvo que tuvo que mantenerme a mí y a mis dos sobrinos. Pero luego ella me dijo tú ya estás grande y pues ya no sé qué voy a hacer contigo y así lo siento mucho. Y pues ella se mudó y yo me quedé sola
Nimah Gobir: Her sister moved away and Angélica needed to assist herself, which meant she had to select that so many college students make: ought to she preserve going to high school or ought to she go away college to work?
Angélica: Tuve que salir de la escuela, tuve que irme y no tenía otra opción más que como mantenerme a mi misma.
Nimah Gobir: She determined to work. She didn’t really feel like she had a lot of a alternative. In response to a report by the City Institute, almost a 3rd of scholars ages 16-19 are working and never in class.
Nimah Gobir: I need to take a second to zoom out on Angelica and speak in regards to the college district she’s in. Oakland Unified Faculty District. It’s credited with being the primary full service group college district within the nation. Which means in all of their public colleges they don’t simply going to deal with teachers, they supply different providers college students and households would possibly want like meals and social providers. Is that this beginning to sound acquainted?
Nimah Gobir: The superintendent Tony Smith who rolled out the plan for the group college district mentioned that it has echoes of the Panthers and their deep care for youths. There are nice examples of how Oakland Colleges are drawing on the Panther legacy. And one in all them is Oakland Worldwide Faculty. The varsity that Angelica goes to.
Lauren Markham: Oakland Worldwide Excessive Faculty is a public college within the Oakland Unified Faculty District that serves all newly arrived immigrant college students, all of whom are English language learners.
Nimah Gobir: Right here is Lauren Markham, one in all Oakland Worldwide’s founding members.
Lauren Markham: Not all, however plenty of our college students are coming from situations of poverty. We’ve got the very best poverty price of any Oakland highschool.
Nimah Gobir: Once I walked by the college I may hear a bunch of various languages all of sudden. Spanish and Arabic are those you’ll hear most. It jogged my memory of the best way Ericka Huggins from the Black Panther Occasion talked in regards to the range of scholars and educators on the Oakland group college
Lauren Markham: We’ve got college students from about 20 completely different nations. I usually describe our faculty as a delayed mirror of world occasions.
Nimah Gobir: What she means by that is that if one thing occurs in a rustic distant. For instance, if there’s political turmoil in Central America and it results in plenty of refugees or asylum seekers, Oakland worldwide may have an inflow of those college students a yr or so later.
Nimah Gobir: Extra refugees arrived in the USA within the first eight months of 2023 than any yr since 2017. Many faculties throughout the nation try to determine accommodate an inflow of migrant college students.
Lauren Markham: Newcomer college students fail at wildly disproportionate charges all through the nation. And we all know that when anyone inhabitants is failing, it’s a perform of the system and never the scholars.
Nimah Gobir: The group college mannequin is what allows Oakland Worldwide to assist their various scholar inhabitants.
Lauren Markham: Faculty Isn’t just a spot the place like studying and training and teachers occur, however that every one of those providers which can be across the classroom, that that connect with and assist college students lives, be it psychological well being providers or well being care or immigration authorized providers, that are all issues that I believe we do notably properly and which can be notably important at Oakland Worldwide.
Lauren Markham: I at all times use this instance, however like if somebody has an abscess tooth, they’re not going to have the ability to deal with math. Proper? And if someone has a pending deportation listening to arising they usually don’t have an immigration lawyer, like, yeah, they’re not engaged on their group challenge.
Nimah Gobir: Working with newcomers makes the group college mannequin actually vital
Lauren Markham: As a result of so many college students are coming with restricted not all, however a lot of our college students are coming, not essentially getting into like established communities or having like established social networks and subsequently like don’t essentially know the place to go to get X, Y, Z factor, or the language that they communicate isn’t represented on the social providers workplace the place they’d apply for Medi-Cal or Cal Contemporary.
Madenh Ali Hassan: All people’s taking what they want and no one feels ashamed. I believe generally there’s a stigma. Like, it’s free meals, I don’t have to take that. However meals shortage is actual.
Nimah Gobir: That’s Madenh Ali Hassan Oakland Worldwide’s Neighborhood Faculty Supervisor, which implies she oversees all of the providers the college affords along with teachers. Once I requested her what the college does rather well. She mentioned giving college students and households meals is their jam.
Madenh Ali Hassan: It’s a bit little bit of artistic chaos however in the event you come out and see it it’s at all times simply sort of candy as a result of everybody’s simply taking what they want.
Nimah Gobir: With the intention to offset skyrocketing meals costs, the college affords two separate meals banks as soon as per week.
Nimah Gobir: Identical to how The Panthers noticed a necessity of their group and offered free meals to kids and households. At this time we see Madenh and Oakland Worldwide doing one thing comparable.
Madenh Ali Hassan: We sometimes arrange proper in entrance of the college. And so that is open for the general public. So when the group sees it, there’s a line across the block.
Nimah Gobir: In addition they need to be certain they’re serving their present college students, in order that they have one other meals financial institution arrange within the cafeteria. That one is only for their college students.
Madenh Ali Hassan: All people’s taking what they want and filling their baggage and college students are doing the identical within the cafeteria.
Nimah Gobir: College students who’ve dropped out of Oakland Worldwide additionally come to the weekly Meals Financial institution. It’s comparatively widespread for a newcomer to show 18 and go away college to work. Oftentimes, working is critical to pay again the individuals who helped them migrate to the US or to assist out their households.
Lauren Markham: We perceive, like that is the fact of your life and you must are inclined to that.
Nimah Gobir: That is Lauren once more, speaking about college students who drop out.
Lauren Markham: I additionally assume that it’s reflective of our faculty, form of not. Like understanding that what’s occurring now just isn’t a scholar’s destiny eternally.
Nimah Gobir: If a scholar wants assist translating a doc a couple of courtroom listening to or filling out a paperwork. They know they’ll nonetheless be supported at Oakland Worldwide. Angélica felt that means too. When Angelica dropped out of college she bought a job making sandwiches.
Nimah Gobir: Despite the fact that her circumstances made it in order that she to work closing shifts. She knew she didn’t need to work in the identical sandwich store eternally. So she had a dialog along with her boss who let her work closing shifts so she may attend college once more through the day.
Angélica: Entonces. Y mis maestros también se alegraron mucho porque yo había. Yo había ido cuatro meses y ellos me ayudaron también. Con todo. Todo. Animarme.
Nimah Gobir: When she returned to high school she was welcomed with open arms.
Nimah Gobir: I discovered it actually fascinating the best way that employees and academics on the college maintain on to those two distinct realities. One being that college students do higher once they’re in class and the opposite is that a few of them can’t make the choice to be there.
Nimah Gobir: Once I went to Oakland Worldwide’s open home — it’s an occasion the place they open up the campus to educators who’re all for seeing how they run issues — I heard Lauren say one thing on the Open Home meeting that I believed was profound.
Lauren Markham on the Open Home meeting: Quite a lot of what we do right here is like, okay, we see the proper model. We are able to whine for a bit bit about not having that, however how can we get how can we approximate? That’s what we do as educators. How can we get nearer to that given the assets that we’ve got? And that’s the form of scrappiness that’s constructed into training.
Nimah Gobir: As somebody who studies on training and talks to plenty of academics and labored in training, this felt true and this jogs my memory of the panthers too in a way. As a result of colleges are primarily a bunch of individuals which can be dedicated to striving for a extremely onerous to get preferrred.
Nimah Gobir: Lots of the college students who went to Oakland Worldwide come again to work there as adults as a result of they see the best way the group college mannequin helps them assist college students higher.
Nimah Gobir: Yasser Alwan got here to Oakland worldwide as a scholar in 2010
Yasser Alwan: We immigrated from Yemen, proper earlier than the battle, the revolution, referred to as the Arab Spring.
Nimah Gobir: Now he’s a Newcomer assistant. It’s a place that began at Oakland Worldwide, the place they’ll have particular people who find themselves in school rooms like paraprofessionals to assist college students who’re struggling. Once I requested him why he got here again and why he stays he mentioned yeah generally there are actually onerous days.
Yasser Alwan: However I, I bear in mind largely the nice ones. And for probably the most half it was largely good days. And it’s identical to that group may be very robust and also you’re like, very welcome in and like. I’m like, happier after I’m not round. And I believe that’s what brings me again. Even by difficult instances, I bear in mind the nice days. And I’m like, there’s going to be extra good days.
Nimah Gobir: Karen Moya got here to Oakland Worldwide as a scholar in 2010 additionally.
Karen Moya: We got here from El Salvador.
Nimah Gobir: As an grownup she joined the employees as a case supervisor
Karen Moya: I’m mainly supporting college students and their households to navigate the brand new methods within the nation.
Nimah Gobir: When she is overwhelmed, She returns to one thing a colleague advised her.
Karen Moya: One thing that one in all my colleagues mentioned it’s like you are able to do something and … You would possibly really feel that you simply’re not doing something since you’re not seeing the outcomes, however you might be really doing one thing. You’re impacting their lives, , and serving to them navigate the, the, the methods and the struggles of being, , an immigrant on this nation. So I take that with me. And, and I give it some thought generally too, after I’m like, I’m serving to this scholar and I don’t see the outcomes that I need to see on my means, however I’m doing every little thing that I can in my arms to higher assist them and their households.
Nimah Gobir: Previous to this episode we did two different tales about group colleges.
Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: I’m Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí and I’m the group engagement reporter at KQED.
Nimah Gobir: So Carlos is somebody who has been with me all through my group college reporting at KQED. He was with me throughout interviews translating Spanish. We’re coming to the tip of our group college reporting this season and I needed to mirror what it was like to essentially sit in these tales
Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: Angelica was a bit a bit shy at first, a bit nervous, which I, , utterly regular response. The factor that caught with me for simply the entire day was simply her, her, identical to the like that she for her this entire, , like her leaving college and coming again. This choice. She actually made it for herself. She understands the worth of training. The issues she was repeating repeatedly was like, I wanna be taught English. Once I first got here to the U.S., , the primary place that we got here to was Oakland and I believe that, if you’re in a faculty that sees plenty of youngsters come and go, you sort of really feel such as you’re, , you’re sort of like within the combat by your self.
Nimah Gobir: I used to be speaking to the group college coordinator after which additionally, one of many founders, they usually had been saying, like, it’s such a bizarre factor to do at a faculty the place you want, see youngsters leaving, however you perceive that, like, their realities are issues that they should cope with. And so you must sort of allow them to go. However your job is simply to be like if you’re prepared to return again, like, come again right here and such as you’ll be okay. And it looks as if they do a extremely good job of that versus like a faculty that will both be like, don’t go away after which like as quickly as the scholar leaves, it’s sort of like, yeah, if I see you, i see you.
Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: Completely, yeah. And that’s why, I actually beloved with the ability to accompany you on these journeys as a result of it simply exhibits some ways you’ll be able to interpret the group mannequin. The place it could possibly be a thousand components that would, , change the result.That goes to the purpose we’re making that there isn’t any excellent quote unquote excellent group college. There’s no excellent strategy to set up or create a group college.
Nimah Gobir: Thanks for speaking to me Carlos.
Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: Yeah, Thanks Nimah, this was superior.
Nimah Gobir: it’s actually at all times a pleasure to work with you.
Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: Likewise.
Nimah Gobir: Whether or not a faculty is predicated in Oakland pursuing the legacy of the Panther Faculty or elsewhere, educators can relate to the will for methods that serve younger folks higher. Within the meantime, they preserve monitoring down quick-fixes, confirmed methods and people hard-to-find sustainable options.
