I’m excited to announce a new partnership with EBIA – East Bay Innovation Academy. We began our partnership with EBIA a little over a week ago where we will partner with them in supporting their special education program and school culture and climate. Our partnership will be help by Celina Zins (Director of School Partnerships), with Sierra Thai-Binh as the UE Coach, Devina Brooks as the Behavior Intervention Specialist, Geoffrey Nunez as the Student Support Assistant, and Lulu Gonzalez as Program Assistant. We will also be supporting them with IEP compliance, case management, and the delivery of specialized academic instruction. Please see below for a little more information about EBIA.
Located in Oakland, East Bay Innovation Academy (EBIA) is a college preparatory public charter school that provides students with the skills necessary for productive lives as citizens in a dynamic and increasingly competitive global world. EBIA is a rigorous Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM)-based school with an emphasis on the social-emotional skills needed to be leaders.
EBIAS Learning Model:
EBIA is a rigorous STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) school with a unique focus on the social and emotional skills students need to be leaders. Students learn to be problem solvers and strong advocates who work together and take responsibility for their own learning.
Additional Program Components
SERVICE LEARNING
In order to teach our core value of giving back to the community and to provide real-world experiences, students do service projects to contribute to and improve their community.
PERSONALIZED LEARNING + ADVISORY
Every EBIA family is matched with a school advisor, who will stay with the family throughout their years at EBIA. Advisors meet with families regularly to map out personal academic, social-emotional, and career goals for each student.
COMMUNITY-BASED FOCUS
Students at EBIA participate in 6 to 8 weeks of in-depth elective classes or internships with community organizations and local businesses.
INTEGRATED CLASSROOMS
Students of all demographic and educational backgrounds are provided with the same college preparatory courses, and all students will be prepared to enroll in college upon graduation.
HIGH-QUALITY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
EBIA faculty are given enormous opportunity to grow as educators and develop new skills.
DATA-DRIVEN + COMPETENCY-BASED INSTRUCTION
EBIA is a leader in collecting and analyzing data and using it to improve learning by working with teachers, students, school leaders and parents.
