Ethnic Studies
Huichin is the traditional, unceded, and occupied territory of the Lisjan and Muwekma Ohlone people. We pay our respects to the Ohlone, both past and present, and their ongoing relationship to their ancestral lands.
We believe Ethnic Studies is a content and pedagogy that humanizes and empowers all people by honoring histories and cultures of historically marginalized groups, by employing multiple disciplines and perspectives to critically analyze systems of oppression, and by promoting action in solidarity with others to transform students’ lives and communities.

OUSD teachers have worked together during the 2020-2022 school years to create student standards for grade spans, in order to guide the development of curriculum units and create building blocks for student skills and capacities across their PreK-12 experience to analyze, navigate, and take action around race, identity, and power.
OUSD educators from across grade levels developed the Ethnic Studies Framework in 2015-2016, which includes six pedagogical principles and four key themes. This work was done in collaboration with Dr. José Cuéllar.
In 2023, educators came together, guided by Dr. Allyson Tintiangco Cubales, to revisit and revise the OUSD Ethnic Studies framework.
In 2024, in consultation with Dr. Kyle Beckham, the four core units underwent an audit. In working groups that include teachers, TSA's, coordinators, and community members, these revisions are ongoing.
