Teacher Mentors
Our Teacher Mentors are Boys & Girls Club Hawaiʻi staff and Hawaiʻi DOE teachers working with PreK-5 students.
Teacher Mentors complete a hybrid Professional Development course.
Professional Development demonstrates the Ka Pilina Noʻeau Math & Science Learning Model and Curricula and Strategies in Action.
After completing the PD, Teacher Mentors have the opportunity to use the MSL Model curriculum in an authentic environment during our STEM camps.
