Teacher Professional Growth and Development
In addition to a robust professional development program supported by gifts to our Annual Fund, we
launched two key initiatives aimed at attracting and retaining top talent at Redwood Day. Our Associate
Teacher → Lead Teacher program offers early-career teachers opportunities to grow under the leadership
and mentorship of expert educators. Additionally, our Ring Compensation model provides salary
premiums for teachers at various stages of their careers, recognizing and honoring their contributions to
advancing Redwood Day’s mission and values.
Creating Opportunity: Knocking Down Barriers to Access
In 2022, Redwood Day launched an inspiring vision to expand access for all students, educators,
and community members, making our school a thriving model of excellence in education. Creating
Opportunity, our Strategic Plan, outlined ambitious goals centered on initiatives designed to foster
growth for our students, faculty, staff, and broader community—while expanding our offerings and
removing barriers to access. This plan paved the way for Redwood Day to take definitive action across
key areas, including curriculum, programming, faculty and staff retention and development, and
diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB). As we conclude the third year of implementing this
vision, we pause to reflect on our progress and look ahead to the future.
Curriculum and Program
With the leadership and guidance of our Director of Curriculum and Instruction, Laurie Ransom, we
have undertaken comprehensive curriculum review processes and adopted new programs in Math and
English Language Arts. Looking ahead, we will pilot new programs in Social-Emotional Learning during
the 2025–26 school year. Additionally, we implemented a new suite of reading assessments to more
effectively track and monitor student growth, and we launched a Lower School enrichment program
that will expand to Middle School in the coming years.
DEIB and Outreach Events
DEIB is central to Creating Opportunity and a core pillar of Redwood Day’s mission. This year, we
launched several new initiatives to celebrate the diversity of our community, including the Black
Excellence event, hosting the People of Color in Independent Schools (POCIS) regional conference, and
organizing a teacher wellness event in partnership with Teaching Well. Additionally, we have implemented
new practices and protocols for addressing incidents of harm on campus, focusing on restorative and
healing processes for all students.
Looking Ahead
With two more years on the horizon for Creating Opportunity, we have our sights set on the launch of
Oakland as a Classroom next school year, an initiative focused on creating opportunities for service
learning, experiential education, immersion in Oakland culture, opportunities for engagement with
Oakland leaders/role models, and student leadership, advocacy and agency development.
Our mission guides everything we do at Redwood Day. We inspire students to reach for their next
challenge, embrace differences, and develop the intellectual and emotional courage to be ready for
anything. The highlights shared above, in addition to the stories you will read in this magazine, provide
a full picture of all Redwood Day does to continually grow our program on behalf of our students. We
continue to have so much to look forward to, creating opportunities, big and small, together. Thank you
for being part of our community as we do this great work together!
All our best,
Tuition Assistance and Expanded Access
Over the past three years, our tuition assistance program has expanded to include X-Care/Plus,
enrichment classes, and summer programming opportunities for students. Previously, tuition assistance
applied only to day-school tuition. This broader support sets Redwood Day apart from other
independent schools in the Bay Area and has made the full cost of education more accessible to a
wider range of families. In addition, we launched the free-of-charge summer Design, Build, Innovate
(DBi) program for students from underrepresented groups attending public and charter schools in
Oakland. This program has grown significantly in recent years and stands as a powerful example of our
commitment to removing barriers to access.

CURRICULUM
HIGHLIGHT
Advancing Math at Redwood Day:
Ensuring Excellence Through Curriculum Review
At Redwood Day, we are committed to maintaining a dynamic and research-driven math
program that aligns with our mission and values. As part of our cyclical curriculum and
program review process, we continuously refine our approach to ensure our students
receive the best possible math education. This article highlights the outcomes of our
recent Lower and Middle School Math reviews and the exciting developments that have
emerged from our three-year prioritized action plans.
Math
OUR MATH PHILOSOPHY
The Redwood Day math program creates learning environments that promote confidence,
resiliency, and agency in order to prepare students for their next challenge in math.
We do this by:
• Creating meaningful, relevant connections of math to students’ lives;
• Encouraging students to meet challenges head-on, engage in productive struggle, and view
errors as opportunities to learn;
• Promoting a balance of procedural fluency, structure, and abstract reasoning.
Our program ensures all students have equitable access to mathematics through embracing
differences and supporting all learners in their Optimal Learning Zone.
MATH PROGRAM STRENGTHS
Our math program continues to demonstrate significant success:
Alumni Success: Surveys over the last four years indicate that Redwood Day graduates are well-prepared
for high school math, with many enrolling in advanced or honors-level courses. The Class of 2024 had the
highest placement in advanced math courses in recent years.
Student Growth: Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) Spring 2024 data revealed strong math
achievement, with robust student growth across grades 3-8. Our students' performance placed Redwood
Day in the High Achievement and High Growth quadrant.
Equitable Access: In line with Redwood Day values, students have equitable access to the Middle School
accelerated pathway, and in the Lower School, all students have access to our Math Extension program pilot.

Middle School Math: Enhancing Learning with Big Ideas Math
Following an extensive review during the 2022-2023 school year, our Middle School math team adopted Big
Ideas Math for implementation in 2023-2024. This curriculum supports a strong foundation by synthesizing
traditional 6th-8th grade math sequences into 6th and 7th grades, ensuring students are well-prepared for
Algebra I in 8th grade. Below are some core elements and initiatives we've implemented in recent years.
CORE ELEMENTS OF BIG IDEAS MATH:
• Progression from surface learning to deeper understanding with
real-world applications
• Balance between conceptual understanding (why), procedural
fluency (how), and application (when)
• Growth mindset development to foster mathematical confidence
• Integration of Mathematical Practices to encourage reasoning,
communication, and problem-solving
INITIATIVES TO SUPPORT ALL LEARNERS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH:
• 8th Grade Geometry Exposure Activity: This new option supports
students ready and motivated for an additional challenge studying
key concepts in high school geometry
Lower School Math: Strengthening Foundations with Math in Focus
During the 2023-2024 school year, our K-5 Math Review Committee reaffirmed the use of Math in Focus,
the American adaptation of Singapore Math. This curriculum prioritizes mastery of fewer topics as opposed
to a surface-level understanding of many topics, allowing students to develop deep understanding of key
foundational mathematical concepts and flexible problem-solving skills. Below are some core elements and
initiatives we've implemented in recent years.
• Math Lab: A program we offered in years past, Math Lab is an option for students who would benefit from an
extra boost in skills’ development
• Math Olympiad: This activity and competition fosters enthusiasm for problem-solving and advanced math
• Future Goals: Continued refinement of differentiated learning opportunities within the math classroom
CORE ELEMENTS OF MATH IN FOCUS:
• Emphasis on problem-solving with real-world, open-ended challenges
• Development of Mathematical Practices to encourage critical thinking
• A structured learning sequence moving from concrete experiences to pictorial representations and finally
abstract reasoning
• Integration of “big ideas” to create interconnected learning experiences
INITIATIVES TO SUPPORT ALL LEARNERS IN LOWER SCHOOL MATH:
• Faculty Professional Development: Teachers are engaging in professional development across the school
year to deepen their understanding and application of the Math in Focus/Singapore Math pedagogy.
• Extension Opportunities: Students demonstrating readiness can now expand their learning with Beast
Academy, a curriculum featuring engaging problems and puzzles designed to support diverse learning
profiles, including advanced and gifted students.
• Math Olympiad for 4th and 5th Graders: Led by Ms. Rhonda Smith, this new enrichment opportunity fosters
enthusiasm for problem-solving and mathematical reasoning.
• Lower School Enrichment Program Pilot: Providing enrichment opportunities for identified and qualified
students (criteria must be met) in multiple academic areas, including math.
• Future Goals: Continued development of targeted support systems for students within and beyond
the classroom.

Finding the Right Fit
Supporting Families in the High School Placement Process
By Jim Rendle, Director of High School Placement
At Redwood Day, preparing students for what comes
next is a deeply personal and thoughtfully guided journey.
As the Director of High School Placement, I have the
privilege of walking alongside each family as we explore
the possibilities ahead—ensuring that every student finds
the high school environment where they will continue
to thrive, contribute, and grow.
This work begins well before applications are submitted.
During the winter of seventh grade, I meet individually
with each student and their family to begin a conversation
that centers on what we know to be most important:
the student’s interests, strengths, and learning style.
These early meetings are about listening as much as
advising—understanding who each student is and what
type of school culture will allow them to flourish.
Our eighth-graders apply to a number of high
school programs that represent the diversity of their
experiences, interests, strengths, and ideal learning
communities. Independent, parochial, and public high
schools recognize Redwood Day graduates for their
strong academic preparation, keen self-awareness,
community consciousness, and global sensibility. Just
as importantly, these students are recognized for their
courage. We often hear from high school educators that
Redwood Day alumni are among the most brave students
on campus—unafraid to try new activities, speak
up, lead clubs, and step into unfamiliar spaces
with curiosity and confidence.
A major outcome of the high school
placement process—often as valuable as
the acceptances themselves—is the clarity
that families gain about who their child is
becoming. The process invites students
to reflect on their strengths and
aspirations, and gives parents
new insight into how their child learns best, where they
feel most confident, and what environments truly bring
out their full potential. This self-knowledge becomes
a compass, helping guide families toward high school
communities that will continue to nurture and challenge
their child in all the right ways.
Having previously served as Redwood Day’s Middle
School Director for eight years before transitioning into
this role five years ago, I bring a deep understanding
of our students’ journeys and the learning environment
that has shaped them. I maintain close relationships with
admissions directors at schools throughout the Bay Area
and beyond. Whether it’s a small independent school, a
large public magnet, or a specialized program focused
on the arts or STEM, I work to ensure that each student’s
application is a compelling, authentic reflection of who
they are and how they show up in the world.
High school admissions can feel daunting, but families
at Redwood Day do not navigate it alone. From initial
exploration to interviews, essays, and final decisions, I
offer continuous support, guidance, and encouragement.
Most importantly, I remind students that this process is
not about finding the “best” school in an abstract sense—
it’s about finding the right school for them.
Each spring, as admission decisions arrive, I am proud
to see the broad and thoughtful range of schools
our students choose to attend. These outcomes
reflect the richness of our student body and the
care we take in ensuring every child is known,
seen, and celebrated. The journey is different
for each family, but the goal is always the same:
a match that supports a joyful, challenging, and
meaningful high school experience.
It’s an honor to be part of that journey.

ONE YEAR IN
FROM OUR NEW
LEADERS
Reflections from Tony Cifra, Lower School Director
Reflections from Sanjev deSilva,
Director of Equity and Belonging
Tony Cifra
LOWER SCHOOL DIRECTOR
In his first year as Lower
School Director, Tony Cifra
has led with warmth, curiosity,
and a deep commitment to
student-centered learning.
We asked him to reflect on
the experiences and values
that shaped his first year at
Redwood Day.
What inspired you to join the
Redwood Day community as the
Lower School Director?
I was inspired to join the Redwood
Day community because of its deep
commitment to academic excellence,
equity, and authentic relationships.
From my first conversations, I sensed
a place where students are
encouraged to bring their whole
selves, educators are supported to
grow, and collaboration is central to
school life. As a divisional leader, I
believe learning thrives when people
feel seen, challenged, and supported
—and Redwood Day reflects those
values in action. It felt like a natural
fit and a place where I could both
contribute and continue to grow.
One year later, I can say that my initial
impressions were 100% accurate!
What has brought you the most
joy in working with students and
teachers this year?
What’s brought me the most joy this
year has been witnessing everyday
moments of growth—when a student
takes a risk, a teacher tries something
new, or a class deepens its sense
of community. I’ve loved being in
classrooms, seeing curiosity come
alive, and partnering with educators
who care deeply about their students
and their craft. The relationships—built
on trust, laughter, and shared purpose
- have been the most meaningful part
of the work. I especially cherish the
unexpected student visits, whether
they’re grappling with a problem,
celebrating a discovery, or simply
wanting to connect. Those moments
remind me why community matters!
What has been your approach
to balancing tradition with
new ideas or changes in your
first year?
In my first year, my approach has been
to listen deeply, learn the culture, and
lead with curiosity. I’ve tried to honor
the traditions and values that make
Redwood Day special, while also
identifying areas where thoughtful
change can strengthen our community.
I believe meaningful growth happens
when we build trust first, and when
new ideas are grounded in shared
purpose. Balancing tradition with
innovation means asking, “What do
we want to preserve?” and “Where
do we want to evolve?”—and making
space for voices (from the youngest
to the most experienced) across
the community in answering those
questions.
What was one leadership challenge
you encountered this year, and
what did you learn from it?
One leadership challenge I
encountered this year was navigating
the balance between being responsive
in the moment and staying focused
on long-term priorities. In a school
setting, urgent needs arise daily—
from student support to scheduling
adjustments —and it’s easy to get
pulled in many directions. I learned the
importance of creating structures that
support clarity and consistency, while
also building in space to pause, reflect,
and respond with intention. This
year reinforced for me that effective
leadership requires both flexibility
and focus—and that cultivating a
strong team allows you to do both
more sustainably.
In one sentence, how would
you describe your first year at
Redwood Day?
My first year at Redwood Day
has been a year of deep learning,
meaningful relationships, and joyful,
purpose-driven work, and I’m excited
to return next year and for many
years beyond!
What drew you to Redwood Day,
and how did you approach your
first year in this important role?
During my eight years at The Athenian
School, I often served on the High School
Admissions Committee and consistently
advocated for the admission of more
Redwood Day students. Each one
brought an immediate, positive impact
to Athenian’s Upper School through
their strong sense of social justice,
equity, and inclusion.
Having met several Redwood Day
educators over the years, I sensed
this was a special community. When
the opportunity to become Director
of Equity and Belonging arose, it felt
like kismet.
In my first year, I balanced listening
and learning about how DEIB functions
at Redwood Day with jumping in,
when necessary, to apply and model
restorative practices. I worked to
accomplish all of this while applying a
DEIB lens to many aspects of the School.
What were some of your first
priorities in leading equity and
belonging work across the school?
My top priority at Redwood Day is
ensuring that everyone not only feels
a sense of belonging but knows they
Sanjev deSilva
DIRECTOR OF EQUITY AND BELONGING
are valued and celebrated for their
full, authentic selves. At its core, DEIB
is about upholding each community
member’s dignity.
...I sensed this was a
special community.
While all schools including Redwood
Day are still on its journey toward
true belonging for all, I approached
this work with humility—choosing to
listen, learn, and avoid a one-sizefits-all
model. I was inspired by the
existing Equity & Inclusion classes
and grateful to collaborate with
our E&I Coordinators—Rachel, Ash,
Nick, and Cami—alongside Simon and
Sarah M., whose insights shaped this
year’s direction.
Early efforts focused on addressing
bias incidents, supporting parent/
guardian affinity groups through
the Diversity in Action committee,
organizing cultural celebrations, and
advancing schoolwide DEIB initiatives.
Most importantly, I’ve worked to build
meaningful relationships across the
community to foster trust and drive
lasting change.
As Director of Equity and Belonging, Sanjev deSilva plays a vital role in
ensuring that Redwood Day is a place where all students, families, and
staff feel seen, heard, and valued. We invited him to share reflections
from his first year building community and driving inclusion.

their strengths and develop a clear

Can you share a moment when
you felt the impact of your work
this year?
Throughout the year, many students
and community members have shared
that this year, the School grew a lot
when it comes to addressing biasrelated
incidents—feedback that has
been both affirming and consistent.
While there’s work to do, Redwood
Day is moving in the right direction,
especially in transparency and
community restoration.
Cultural growth in schools doesn’t
happen overnight; through honest
conversations and ongoing
reflection, we see meaningful
progress. I’m humbled by the
weekly acknowledgments I receive
from community members about the
impact of new initiatives. One recent
example was a comment about how
our Gallery displays have deepened
understanding of the diverse
heritages within our community
more than ever before.
I look forward to continuing this
collaborative work—whether through
the Gallery, events, celebrations,
guest speakers, or other DEIB
programming—because continued
growth and involvement takes all of
us, together.

Cultural change
doesn’t happen
overnight, but
through honest
conversations and
ongoing reflection.
What was one unexpected
learning or insight you gained in
your first year here?
I couldn’t have predicted the level of
national pushback against Diversity,
Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging this
year. In light of that, the support
for DEIB at Redwood Day has
been even more essential—and I’m
deeply grateful for the unwavering
commitment of our leadership, from
the Head of School to the Board of
Trustees, despite the growing negative
rhetoric around this work.
The cancellation of the National
Association of Independent Schools
(NAIS) People of Color Conference
was another unexpected challenge,
yet Redwood Day has continued
to stand out as a champion for
educational equity. From hosting the
NorCal People of Color in Independent
Schools conference to the Black
Excellence event our campus has
become a vibrant hub for inclusive,
community-centered events.
As we open our doors to the broader
community, we must remain vigilant—
ensuring our actions align with our
mission and values. Lasting impact
requires us to truly walk the talk,
especially when it comes to centering
and uplifting marginalized voices.
In one sentence, how would
you describe your first year at
Redwood Day?
My first year at Redwood Day has
been a roller coaster—with highs and
lows just like any school. But overall,
I’m grateful to be here and excited to
build on the systems and foundations
we’ve established in my first year as
Director of Equity and Belonging.
There was an excitement about
joining a community with a
tremendous academic reputation,
which was equally known for and
committed to children's socialemotional
development. Redwood
Day is also the first school I chose
as a parent. It was imperative to me
that I work in a school that I would be
eager for my children to join.
We must go deeper in
every aspect of our work.
How would you describe
Redwood Day to a prospective
family encountering it for the
first time?
At Redwood Day, you do not have
to choose between academic rigor
and your child's social-emotional
development. I’d also share that
families shouldn’t have to choose
between an education that helps
students understand identity or one
that challenges them to reach high
academic standards while preparing
them for their next journey.
What have you learned this year
about what makes Redwood Day’s
community unique to new and
returning families?
We offer a program that utilizes
data and a deep understanding of
each child to help students grow
to their greatest capacities within
their Optimal Learning Zone. We
understand that each learner has
strengths and stretches, and the goal
readiness in the areas where they
are not naturally strong. For some,
this is the difference between an ELA
brain and a math brain; for others, it
is growing in their social capacities
or ability to regulate emotions. We
know that a type A learner benefits
from the social/emotional connector
and vice versa. When the Type A
student is fretting about getting
two questions wrong on the math
test, they need their social/emotional
connector best friend to say, “hey
you still got an A!” and the social/
emotional connector needs their Type
A best friend to pull them to study
a week before the test happens. We
are not seeking to hold students to
standards of perfectionism, but to
hold them to their highest capacities
as individual learners, in relation to a
collective of talented learners. We are
working to build a community with
highly committed and partnershiporiented
families and the best and
brightest students in Oakland and
the greater East Bay.
Can you share a story or moment
during the admissions process that
affirmed you were in the right role?
Partnering with Sanjev to throw the
Black Excellence event in February
was a moment where I knew I could
truly be my full self at Redwood Day
and affect systemic and meaningful
growth for students and families of
all identities in the School and the
greater Oakland community.
We must go deeper in every aspect
of our work. We are not complacent
about our growth this year; we want
to continue to improve on behalf
of this extraordinary institution.
Redwood Day is incredibly wellpositioned
in every aspect of being
a school. We also recognize that
establishing a trend takes 2-3
years, and evolving school culture
takes 3-5 years. We are committed to
this work.
Marsille Reed

MANAGEMENT

efforts, Marsille Reed

I vividly remember playing Boggle with Mrs. Dittmer in the
library…however nerdy that may sound, I had a great time and it
launched my love of words, which I use almost daily for scripting
in my career. Mrs. Kita, Mrs. Segal, Ms. Pratt...all the wonderful
teachers I had from K to 8th grade left a lasting impression. I
fondly remember the EBISC dances, the rope swing and the Back
40, PE with Mr. Ajamu, and donuts in homeroom.
How did your experience at Redwood Day
impact you?
I appreciated not only the diversity of the faculty and students,
but also how immersed Redwood Day was in the Dimond District.
I started Kindergarten when the school was in Alameda, and
loved experiencing both locations and getting a great education
close to home. My sister (class of '03) and I are still close family
friends with the Sholls, whom we met at Redwood Day.
What are you up to these days?
After graduating from Brandeis University in
2008, I worked in the greater New York area
at MLB and NHL Networks as a Producer/
Editor for 8 years, winning 6 Emmy Awards
during that time. In late 2017, I moved back
home to the Bay to work as the Executive
Producer of Ballpark Entertainment and
Video Content for the Oakland Athletics. In 2020, I became the
team's interim Public Address Announcer and took over the
position full-time after the passing of Dick Callahan. I am the first
female PA announcer in Athletics franchise history, the 4th in
MLB history, and just one of four active women PA Announcers
currently in the league. I am also the primary PA announcer for
the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) and Bay Football Club (NWSL)
and fill-in for the San Jose Sharks and Stanford University.
The cooking classes! A memorable experience my mom and I still chuckle about is the fourth-grade cooking class
with Mr. Weissman. We made jerky and hardtack to mimic the food of California settlers. This class was quite laborintensive
and required a lot of time; we were tasked with salting, tenderizing, and then waiting for the strips of meat
to dry. After what seemed like ages, my jerky was shriveled to a fraction of its original size. Sadly for me (and the
poor jerky), I also added too much salt—it recrystallized into large white chunks! Even though my final result was
inedible, it was an invaluable learning experience and drove home the limited food situation of the California settlers.
How did your experience at Redwood Day impact you?
I credit my diverse skillset to the extensive curriculum at Redwood Day. I had the chance to explore various activities,
such as rock climbing during Outdoor Education trips, tending to chickens in the school garden, acquiring survival
skills in middle school, and building a replica Louvre Museum for the eighth-grade architecture project—the list
goes on! Much of the curriculum was practical and hands-on, which helped me to apply what I learned to real-world
challenges and significantly contributed to my growth as a learner.
What are you up to these days?
I graduated from Occidental College in 2017 with a degree in Geology,
concentrating on Environmental Science. While at Occidental, I conducted
research with my advisor on igneous rocks from the Coast Mountains
Batholith in British Columbia. My study used a mineral-based geobarometry
technique to figure out the pressure conditions during rock formation
deep within the Earth's crust. Excitingly, my research was incorporated
into a paper recently published in the scientific journal, Tectonics, in 2024!
After my time at Occidental, I had the wonderful opportunity to work at
the Lawrence Hall of Science as a Public Education Specialist. It was such
a special experience, especially because it was a museum I loved visiting
as a kid! I had the joy of teaching workshop classes and developing
informal science curricula, and I definitely drew inspiration from some
of the engaging activities I experienced at Redwood Day. After a fun
couple of years at The Lawrence, I made the move to Southern
California to work as an Environmental Geologist in
environmental consulting.

What are you up to these days?
One unforgettable experience that still resonates with me today
is my class trip to Boruca, Costa Rica, led by Pica Lockwood. I
was in 5th or 6th grade, and we spent about a week and a half
immersed in the village—creating traditional artwork, going on
excursions, helping build housing and public infrastructure, and
connecting with local teenagers. It was a truly transformative
experience that broadened my perspective and introduced me to
a world vastly different from my own at a very young age.
How did your experience at Redwood Day
impact you?
Redwood Day provided a strong foundation that helped me
thrive both academically and socially throughout my life. The
school’s emphasis on curiosity, self-discovery, and individuality
had a lasting impact on me.
I was consistently encouraged to step outside my comfort zone,
and I embraced that challenge. Whether it was performing in
winter concerts, running for class treasurer, participating in talent
shows, joining Halloween parades, or playing on sports teams,
Redwood Day offered countless opportunities for self-expression
and personal growth.
Most importantly, I formed lifelong friendships at Redwood Day—
some of which began in kindergarten and continue to this day.
These enduring connections were made possible by the school’s
warm and inclusive community of students, faculty, and staff.
Many faculty and staff members had a positive impact on my
experience at Redwood Day. A few who come to mind are Denise
Breland, Jim Rendle, Simon Alejandrino, Rhonda Smith, Arturo
Navarro, and Oding Muata.

I graduated from Lehigh University in 2023 with a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering. Since then, I’ve worked
as a Software Engineer at companies such as Bank of the West and Xerox Corporation. Currently, I am in an intensive
program for recent graduates. I have been focused on cybersecurity, research, and development in addition to
software engineering, based in Raleigh, North Carolina. I work for Hitachi Energy—the world’s largest transformer
manufacturer and a global leader in power technologies and energy systems.
Outside of work, I am privileged to serve on the board of directors for The Hidden Genius Project, an Oaklandbased
national nonprofit that trains and mentors black male youth in technology creation, entrepreneurship, and
leadership, empowering them to transform their lives and communities.
