ʻĀina-based and Place-based Education in Hawai‘i schools: Charting an NIC’s Journey to Equitable Practice

Pacific | April 23, 2023 - April 25, 2023

2023 Carnegie Summit Poster Session

The Hui for All to Benefit from Hawaiian Education is an NIC partnership among Hawaiian-focused charter schools, SEEQS Charter School, Kamehameha Schools, and REL Pacific. At the core of the NIC’s work is an understanding that students matter as whole beings; their personal histories directly inform their identities as students and reflect their personal educational trajectories, which are foundational to their cultural, college, career, and community readiness. This poster will introduce the NIC’s goals and process of exploring and developing culturally relevant instruction and assessment tools, a process that puts equity ambitions into concrete practice.

Presenters:

• Ben Cronkright, senior consultant, McREL International
• Meahilahila Kelling, school director, Ke Kula 'o Samuel M. Kamakau Laboratory Public Charter School
• Denise Espania, school director, Mālama Honua Public Charter School
• Chelsea Keehne, network liaison, Kamehameha Schools
