EFC is an organization filled with passionate, thoughtful, and driven leaders who stand together committed to
excellent educational outcomes and equitable educational opportunities for every child in Oakland. In 2022-23, EFC
worked with stakeholders across the organization to develop its 2023-28 Strategic Plan. This Strategic Plan defines
EFC’s vision for the next three to five years. and outlines the priorities for EFC and its schools and will guide site
planning, budgeting, fundraising, progress monitoring, and most of our decision-making.
In particular, our Board, our leadership, and our stakeholders came together around a strategic plan to drive
student outcomes by focusing on Instructional Coherence, Data-Driven Instruction, and Instructional Leadership.
The ultimate vision is that EFC students challenge the predictable patterns of performance and access to
opportunity in this country by demonstrating the essential academic competencies, personal agency, and integrated
identity necessary to be prepared for a meaningful and productive life.
