My Students

In my class, I work with students in grades 9-12 who make me smile every day. As part of one of the largest Hawaiian communities in the world, my students' uniqueness, individuality, and pursuit of becoming lifelong learners remind me daily why I chose to become a teacher.

Students in my class are determined to give back to their communities by working towards becoming future educators of Hawaii.

Together, we strive to build real-world skills and create life-long relationships within our community and beyond.

My Project

Within Hawaii's communities, the need for qualified teachers has never been more evident. In our class, students focus on building their knowledge of today's educational standards so that they can pursue their dreams of becoming homegrown educators. To work toward professional and personal success, my students need access to resources.

Help my students build a repository of knowledge by giving digital resources they can use to strengthen their understanding of the skills they will need to be effective educators.

Use of these three Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards will go toward curriculum for our future homegrown teachers.
