Aloha everyone!
This week we will be focusing on staff professional development which in turn leads to increased student learning. On Monday, Ms. Asahi and I will be attending the Hawaii Academies meeting at Kapaa HS. Waimea HS is part of a consortium of 16 high schools across the state that is focusing on preparing all students to be college and career ready by graduation; we meet bi-monthly to share training and resources to achieve that goal. This month’s meeting will be about community and business partners and how schools leverage their support…. ironic because on Wednesday our science and math teachers will be working with staff from the University of Hawaii, DLNR, PMRF, Learning Coalition, and Developing Critical Thinkers, Inc. from Oahu. We will be learning how to use vocabulary maps that will stretch students to think critically and deeply about the topic at hand. Our guiding question for Wednesday’s staff training will be, “why is the Waimea River dying?” The exciting thing about this training is that the framework is applicable across all content areas and grade levels. In fact, we will be working to train not only our Waimea HS teachers, but our feeder school teachers as well in this framework next school year. Pretty exciting stuff!
Have a good week everyone; hope you all have a great Easter weekend with your friends and family.
Here’s your announcements!
