Mahalo to members who have expressed interest and support for the September 9, 2014 Planning Meeting. We are at currently at full capacity. For those who are interested in finding out more about the Hawaii Education Institute, please email cheri@heecoalition.org and we can pass the information to the speakers at the meeting.
At the next Planning Meeting, HE'E is pleased to have Randall Roth, Joan Husted and John Sosa introduce an emerging organization called the Hawaii Education Institute. The Institute will function as an education think tank with an overarching goal of improving the quality of public education in Hawaii so that more children thrive and more professionals reach their full potential as educators. The Institute will conduct studies that are independent, objective and nonpartisan, focusing on principles and practices of effectiveness. It will also gather the perspectives and insights of principals and other administrators, teachers, parent groups and community leaders through surveys and focus groups; organize and promote public forums; and work directly with media to help ensure news coverage of public education issues that is predictably accurate, comprehensive and timely.
Along with the presentation about the Hawaii Education Institute, HE'E Staff will also provide an update on HE'E Coalition initiatives. Please see meeting agenda here.
