💕 #LoveTeaching Week’s Story Saturday prompt: Share the teaching story that has inspired you this year to #LoveTeaching. #HIPublicSchoolsProud

When I first started teaching in 1996, the big distractions were tamagotchis and pagers. We spent entire faculty meetings discussing how to combat these scourges of student attention. Our classroom rules were to specifically state that these were to be turned off and put away

I absolutely love this, Carly Maloney! It's my dream, too.

I loved opening this classroom door every day & greeting my students. Whether we were caring for our garden or discussing questions & ideas, we were always discovering more about each other, ourselves, & the world around us. #LoveTeaching

1996-???. I feel fortunate to have taught through some amazing times. From chalk and overhead projectors to AI. Through a strike and a pandemic. I'm excited to see what the next three decades bring. No matter how much things change, the essential heart of teaching remains

And just like that, #LoveTeaching Week 2024 is over, finishing with a bang on Wow Wednesday! During the start-of-the-year scramble every August, I make it a point to jot down a few words describing my first impressions of each of my students. I revisit them throughout the year

What can you do to create conditions for your leaders, teachers and students to thrive, be resilient, and make a positive impact in our schools? Engaging stakeholders at all levels to provide feedback and insights to the Hawai’i Teacher Induction Program Standards.

Revisiting the same space previous DOE leaders worked on, participating in kuahu, and planting native plants. Even if we bring the same plant, we bring different parts of the plant and come with different mo’olelo. I ola ʻoukou, i ola mākou nei May you thrive so we can thrive.
