Learn More 

As you consider applying for the Oakland Teaching Fellows program, we strongly encourage you to attend one of our regularly scheduled Information Sessions. Although not required for the application process, Information Sessions give applicants the chance to learn more about this exciting opportunity and hear first-hand from OUSD teachers.*

Information Sessions can be particularly useful for those who have general questions about the program or for those who may be unsure about applying. If you are interested in attending, we ask that you first read this website carefully—including the FAQ section—to familiarize yourself with the basics of the program.

An information session generally includes a brief overview of the program and a question and answer period with an OTF staff member. Sessions also include participation and insights from a current Fellow or OUSD veteran teacher.  Information Sessions usually last about one hour and take place at different times and locations throughout the year.

Upcoming Information Sessions:

Thursday, December 18, 2008 at 5:30 PM.

Tuesday, January 20, 2008 at 5:30 PM.

ALL Information Sessions are conducted at:

Oakland Unified School District Administration Building

1025 Second Avenue

Oakland, CA 94606

Please note that the Information Session is not a required component of the admissions process for Oakland Teaching Fellows.

Out-of-area candidates and others can also connect to current Oakland Teaching Fellows and other OUSD teachers to ask questions and learn more about the Fellow experience by emailing Connect@OaklandTeachingFellows.org. Be sure to include the subject area(s) in which you are interested in teaching.
