Course being on February 16, 2023
Portfolios are due on May 10, 2023
(see specific dates below)
This course is now PDE3 approved!

Are you a DOE teacher interested in learning more about how to connect ʻāina and forests of Hawaiʻi to create authentic learning for your students? If so, you are encouraged to sign up for this PDE3 course to learn and experience how education can seamlessly incorporate STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math), HĀ (Nā Hopena A’o), and standards such as NGSS. Teachers will build a connection to place, utilize in-class and outdoor lessons based on sites with trees and forests in their communities, and be inspired to create lessons that support 'āina-based learning and 'ike Hawai'i.
