In this paper, I will trace the historical, linguistic, and educational contexts for the resolution passed by the Oakland Public Schools (OPS) School Board on December 18, 1996. I will argue that the OPS resolution did not spring from some spontaneous urge, nor from a drive to acquire federal funds. On the contrary, the OPS resolution is: (a) a sensible and sagacious extension of the linguistic and cultural history of the African-American community; (b) a reasonable and logical implementation of research and theory that has come to light from linguistics and education research over the past 25 years, and (c) a natural and intrinsic desire on the part of African-American parents to have their children's teachers acquire the principles, strategies, and competencies that frame California's Crosscultural, Language, and Academic Development (CLAD) Teacher Certification and Credential.
