(session duplicated earlier today at 10:10)
Are you an EA who has been the "backbone" of the classroom for years? Or maybe you’re an emergency hire teacher currently navigating the wilderness without a full compass? If you’ve got the heart for our keiki but need a hand reaching the summit of full licensure, this campfire is for you!
Since 1995, the
Ka Lama Education Academy has been on a mission of "Growing Our Own." We know that the best teachers for our community are the ones who already live here, shop at the same stores, and understand the unique heartbeat of our rural and Native Hawaiian neighborhoods.
In this high-energy session, the Ka Lama team will show you how they help community members transition from the sidelines to the center of the classroom. We’re talking about more than just a pep talk—we’re talking about real-world survival gear:
- College Support & Funding: How to clear the financial brush so you can focus on your studies.
- Mentorship & Coaching: Having a veteran guide by your side so you never have to trek alone.
- Community-Conscious Curriculum: Learning how to deliver lessons that actually resonate with our students’ lives and cultures.
This session is a "must-attend" for anyone looking to increase their credentials and bridge the cultural gap for our students. We need teachers who our keiki can see themselves in—role models who are rooted in the same soil.
Come find out how to turn your passion into a permanent profession. Let’s grow this forest together!
