Wednesday July 17, 2024 11:00am - 12:15pm HST
Room 321 A/B
Feedback Survey
When we consider the native ancestors of this unique place we call home and how people from all walks of life worked together, we recognize that it is important to provide meaningful experiences where all stakeholders have a sense of ownership over the individual and collective work. Likewise, Nā  Hopena A‘o (HĀ) invites us to acknowledge that we are continuously in a space of aʻo where we are teaching and learning from and with one another as well as our places.
HĀ encompasses six outcomes - Belonging, Responsibility, Excellence, Aloha, Total Well-Being, and Hawaiʻi - to be strengthened for all learners throughout their multiple learning journeys. HĀ supports a holistic learning process that guides aʻo (teaching and learning) for the entire community. When uplifted together, these outcomes represent the contextual foundation from which to draw upon when setting the right conditions for success. These conditions support the designing of meaningful learning experiences that ultimately lead to an abundant and thriving Hawaiʻi.
This session will provide an overview of the moʻolelo of HĀ as well as an emphasis on how the incorporation of a connection to culture and place in all aspects of education can help to support successful experiences in aʻo for learners of all readiness levels.
