Teacher Mentors

Our Teacher Mentors are Boys & Girls Club Hawai’i staff and Hawai’i DOE teachers working with PreK-5 students.

Teacher Mentors complete a hybrid Professional Development course.

Professional Development Topics include:

  • Ka Pilina Noʻeau II Math & Science Learning Model and Curricula
  • Culturally responsive teaching,
  • Universal Design for Learning,
  • Problem-based learning
  • Integrated STEM curriculum

After completing the PD, Teacher Mentors have the opportunity to use the MSL Model curriculum in an authentic environment during our STEM camps.
