Building on the Solid Foundation The geneology of the Alana CBE Project
Moʻokūʻauhau Standing on shoulders
I was the good girl What does it mean to be the good girl? Understanding the center
The Liminal Ledge The Center VS. The Piko
Birth of Alana • “Your beliefs become your thoughts, Your thoughts become your words, Your words become your actions, Your actions become your habits, Your habits become your values, Your values become your destiny.” • -- Mahatma Gandhi
The Elevator Speech What is the Alana Project
Alana Project Logic Model
Kahua • CBE modeling • Summer Institute model • 21st century skills • Application to classrooms
Moena - mats • Talent search for the “right” kumu • Gathering of kupuna, cultural experts • Moenahā coaching • Community of learners • Sustainability
Why Focus on Certain Teachers? • Students also cannot be expected to balance on that liminal ledge • Need expert teacher leaders who are willing to help create a relevant experience for them • Teachers need to come in with expertise in their content area • Focusing on non-Hawaiian language and non-Hawaiian culture teachers so that every content area can see that their kuleana is to connect standard curriculum to them
Why Focus on Culture-Based Education? “Indigenous culture-based educational strategies suggest promise where other Western culture-based strategies have failed in reducing educational disparities between indigenous students and their peers and in promoting positive and successful outcomes among indigenous students.” -- Kanaʻiaupuni, 2007
