Welcome Back!

School year 2011-2012 has officially begun!  I am watching teachers unpack boxes, wiping down shelves, and getting their classrooms ready for their new students.  We wish you all a fabulous school year and are looking forward to visiting your schools and classrooms soon!

Summer Induction Symposium 2011, Day 2

Our teachers had a great day today.  They got more fabulous resources to use in their classrooms and knowledgable presentations by Darren and Wendy about working with Military Families, Diane and Lauren about Special Education, HSTA.  They also discussed Teacher Professionalism and learned the importance of Procedures by watching an inspiring video.

We are so excited to be working with this amazing group of educators this year!!!

Summer Induction Symposium 2011, Day 1 ROCKED!

Today we held our first day of the Central District Summer Symposium.  Approximately 60 beginning teachers attended on their Summer vacation to acclimate themselves to the teaching profession.  They got great goodie bags filled with t-shirts, books, supplies, and information supplied by Kahikukala supporters Ohana Daze and Kamehameha Schools Bishop Estates. Mahalo to  Ohana Daze and Kamehameha Schools for your support as well as Education Works, Mililani Mauka Mc Donalds, and Pizza Hut Inc for supplying Door Prizes.

Today's agenda was filled with learning about the Kahikukala Program, a pep talk by Complex Area Superintendents Patricia Park and Dr. Teri Ushijima, Personnel Issues by PRO Bob Davis, the Hawaiian Culture by Aaron Mersberg and Colleen Robinson, and closed with a session that enabled them to receive tips and resources from classroom teachers.
