I'd like to congratulate our educators on a successful year. You should be proud of the achievements of this year's graduates. All of the pomp and circumstance of graduation – the beaming students walking (or dancing) across the stage, the families cheering them on – is because of the hard work and dedication that you poured into the educational journey of your students. Over the summer, the Department will continue to collect feedback for HIDOE's 2030 Promise Plan, develop our professionals on topics including Project Based Learning, Quality Special Education Services and Computer Science, and start to shift our focus for school year 2019-20 to quality instructional designs – Ideas That Transform!

VIEW EMAIL ONLINE Kicking off graduation season and looking ahead to 'Civic Sense 2020' Graduation season kicked off this weekend across the islands. It was a proud moment for families, educators and myself, and I'm looking forward to continuing the celebrations over the next few weeks. As I helped Principal Jamie Yap pass out diplomas at Maui High's graduation, I saw excitement and courage in the eyes of the graduates and I know they are ready for the challenges their generation will face and the great opportunities that lie ahead. As the largest provider of talent for Hawaii, I'm confident that our public school students of the class of 2019 will serve our state well. In order to ensure that a student is well rounded and prepared to be a contributing global citizen, we need to teach them about the issues impacting the world beyond the boundaries of their campuses. This is why HIDOE's Office of Curriculum and Instructional Design has organized social studies teachers across our state to coordinate an exciting civic engagement event. "Civic Sense 2020:  A Forum for Hawaii's Future" is scheduled for March 21, 2020 at the Hawaii State Capitol. Secondary students, teachers, law students, judges, politicians, and others will come together to address policy challenges affecting our island state in three key areas: 1) public health and welfare, 2) conservation, control and development of resources, and 3) Hawaiian affairs. The goals of the event are to ensure our students will gain a deeper understanding of current issues as they relate to the Hawaii State Constitution; learn how to engage in thoughtful dialogue; take policy positions; and increase their agency to affect change. This event connects to the five themes that are the foundation for the work we're doing to create the 2020-2030 Promise Plan: Hawaii Equity School Design Empowerment Innovation Promise Statement Students will be educated within a public school system that is grounded in HA, powers a multilingual society, and honors Hawaii's local and global contribution. Hawai'i. Students will experience strong relationships and supports that mitigate disempowering differences to enable them to thrive academically, socially, and civically. Students will be immersed in excellent learning environments that are thoughtfully designed around a community's power to contribute to a thriving, sustainable Hawaii. Students will develop their authentic voice as contributors to equity, excellence and innovation, by providing input on what they learn, how they learn, and where they learn. Students will engage in rigorous, technology-rich, problem-solving learning that enables them to solve authentic community challenges and develop pathways to goals. Civic Sense Alignment A grounding in our sense of place and our state's constitution as a reflection of who we are and who students want to be as a state community. Helping students thrive academically and civically through understanding their potential as citizens of Hawaii. Generating resources that schools can access to support individual school and community needs, and providing teachers opportunities to learn current issues and pedagogies in civic education. Experiencing opportunities for students to find and express their authentic voices around relevant issues, and strengthening teachers' ability to act as co-learners with students. Tackling community issues and seeking solutions through group discussion, collaboration and inquiry. Enabling teachers to support innovation student learning through collaborative professional development. Stay tuned! We look forward to sharing more information about this exciting opportunity for secondary students when school is back in session. We are in the homestretch, HIDOE team! Mahalo for your hard work.

VIEW EMAIL ONLINE Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! It's National Teacher Appreciation Week and I encourage everyone to take some time this week to reflect on the great work of our HIDOE teachers. We know that behind every student's successes are many dedicated educators, teachers that innovate, collaborate, and focus on students' best interests in everything that they do. I'm proud that the hard work of our teachers is being made more apparent with the increasing number of students graduating with honors, taking and passing Advanced Placement (AP) exams, and enrolling in early college courses during high school. With the various opportunities and supports provided by our committed teachers, more students are attaining higher levels of learning, successfully preparing them for college and their future careers. Teachers serve our haumana not only by helping to develop their academic achievement but also by working to find innovative ways to cultivate mindsets and values that are needed to succeed in college, careers and communities locally and globally. Our educators are making strides in bringing Na Hopena A'o (HA) to life in our schools and we are seeing an increase in applied and aina-based learning for greater student engagement, as well as more design thinking with business and community partners for collaborative, human-centered approaches to overcoming complex challenges. Progress is being made on closing achievement gaps by teachers who are contributing new ways of addressing student hardships and advancements in student voice. They are placing greater value on student choice practices that influence educational program design, learning experiences, and school structure. Our educators are committed to empowering students, through equity and excellence, to successfully discover and embark upon their chosen paths in life. I'm sure that we have all been significantly influenced by a teacher at one point in our lives. A teacher that introduced you to your passion, helped build your confidence, or taught you a lesson that you'll never forget. Teachers are our mentors, inspiration, and motivation in becoming successful contributing members of society. I will forever be grateful to Mrs. Cohen in Bronx, New York who served as my 7th and 8th grade English teacher, who introduced us to Shakespeare and ignited in me a passion for literature and life-long learning! I am personally grateful to our teachers for the critical role that they play as the voice from the classroom and the school in thinking about state level policies that impact our haumana and our profession. Teachers are the greatest knowledge resource for establishing the most engaging, powerful public school system. Our haumana are too important for any small promises and the important work of our committed educators serve as the core in building the effective systems needed to meet our goals as a Department. I encourage you to find a special, fun way to show your gratitude and celebrate our educators this week. Mahalo again to all our wonderful teachers for choosing the Hawaii Public Schools and for your dedication to Hawai'i's public school students. You are the difference makers! Congratulations Class of 2019! The countdown to graduation has officially begun with less than a month left in the school year. Starting on May 17, high schools across the state will be hosting their graduation celebrations for the more than 10,000 students who will graduate in front of their families, teachers, staff and school leaders who have supported the launch of their educational journey. We are proud of all of our Hawai'i public school graduates and wish them great success as they pursue their career pathways that begin their transition to adulthood. Congratulations Class of 2019 and great work administrators, teachers and staff in preparing and supporting our students for the future! Your feedback wanted on the 2030 Promise Plan The next phase of our strategic planning for Hawai'i's public school system has officially begun! We have identified five student promises to realize in every school by 2030, focusing on creative ideas and solutions. Our aim is a diverse portfolio of excellence schools that support a thriving, sustainable state grounded in the values of HA. We have launched a step-by-step toolkit to support staff and community groups to collectively add their input through August 1. Access it on our website here: http://bit.ly/HIDOESP-P1.

VIEW EMAIL ONLINE Update: Leaving Lotus Notes for Google Back in my Kick Off Your Week for Nov. 15, 2018, we announced exciting news that our long-anticipated move from the Lotus Notes platform to Google for Education was in the works. I'm happy to say that we're on schedule and that beginning on May 1, all HIDOE employees will have a Google (G Suite) account and a Gmail address ending in "@k12.hi.us". This move will help bring our digital work onto a common platform that can be shared among all offices, districts, schools and classrooms, and is accessible from any computer or mobile device with an internet connection. As part of your new G Suite account, you'll have access to apps like Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Classroom, Sites, Tasks, Calendar, Keep, Hangouts, Chat, Groups, Jamboard, Forms and Collections, that will help us take group collaboration to new heights on a simpler, more user-friendly interface. A HIDOE Google migration site is now available at https://sites.google.com/k12.hi.us/gsuite/ with FAQs and contact information for assistance. Bookmark that page as more info will be posted to the site as the migration continues. User training schedules are coming soon, and in May we'll begin forwarding incoming Lotus Notes emails and migrating existing Lotus Notes emails, including your archived emails and other data. Any staff who have built their own Lotus Notes applications (other than email or calendars) are advised to contact our project team at LN_Google@k12.hi.us. This upgrade will be a major step forward for HIDOE and help to unify us on a common, shared platform. I want to give Asst. Superintendent Brook Conner and his entire technology team at OITS kudos for their hard work in making this important evolution a reality for the entire HIDOE system. This operational upgrade represents another major step in modernizing our business platforms and functions to reflect the quality and excellence that will support our work in the next decade. Our haumana and our employees deserve nothing less! There are many more upgrades to come...

VIEW EMAIL ONLINE Fulfilling our promise of equity for public school haumana Public education is a critical equalizer and HIDOE is making significant strides towards ensuring that all of our haumana have equitable access to quality learning opportunities. With the addition of 15 Equity Specialists — one each dedicated to each of our Complex Areas — schools now have access to support and expertise as never before. Additionally, the Civil Rights Compliance Branch has established two working committees: the Civil Rights Compliance Committee and the Gender Equity in Athletics Committee. And, just last week, training about the benefits and protections provided under Patsy T. Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act (Title IX) was launched.   Title IX training will continue through the end of the year and will primarily focus on three content areas: sexual harassment and violence, including LGBTQ issues; gender equity in programs and services, specifically gender equity in athletics; and how to conduct appropriate investigations of complaints under Title IX.    Beth Schimmelfennig, Civil Rights Compliance Branch director, shared her excitement about how the first sessions went last week, stating, "The training we received last week was excellent.  It is our hope that by the time we wrap up these sessions, we will have someone in each of our 256 public schools trained in identifying areas of concern and the steps that need to be taken to not only comply with Title IX laws, but to make sure we are fostering an environment where all of our students can thrive in academics and athletics."   It has been a long journey and there is still a lot of work to be done, but I would like to commend our staff and partners for their tireless efforts, as well as those who have spoken up working with the Department on accountability. We will continue to ask our school communities for their support in realizing the vision of Hawaii's late Congresswoman Patsy Mink, the courageous trailblazer who authored Title IX.    I have shared in multiple Kick Off Your Week messages, presentations and meetings with stakeholders my vision for equity, excellence and innovation that will guide our work as we begin to collect feedback for the Department's 2020-2030 Strategic Plan. We will have announcements from the State, Complex and school level in the coming months on how you can play a role in shaping the next decade of education in our public schools.

VIEW EMAIL ONLINE OFFICE OF TALENT MANAGEMENT Educator Effectiveness System Adjustments for School Year 2019-20 The Hawaii State Department of Education (HIDOE) works closely with educators annually to refine the Educator Effectiveness System (EES) to streamline and strengthen supports for improving teacher practice.   Based on feedback received from educators and the collaborative work of the Hawaii State Teachers Association-HIDOE EES Joint Committee, I am pleased to release the following information regarding improvements to EES for School Year (SY) 2019-20:   Tiered Comprehensive Evaluation Tracks for Emergency Hires, Probationary Teachers, Marginal, Tenured On-Cycle and Off-Cycle   To promote personalized professional growth through data, feedback, and reflection for all teachers regardless of experience and level of performance, EES will diversify the data collection, performance expectations, and support processes for new teachers, including those without teaching credentials, to ensure appropriate supports in the early stages of their career.   Five-year Comprehensive Evaluation Cycle for Tenured Teachers   Utilizing a rollout based on Social Security Numbers (last number of SSN), tenured teachers will be engaged in a comprehensive evaluation every five years, and focus on feedback and professional growth annually in all other years:   ·      Year 1: 2019-20 - Last SSN 2 & 4 ·      Year 2: 2020-21 - Last SSN 6 & 8 ·      Year 3: 2021-22 - Last SSN 0 & 9 ·      Year 4: 2022-23 - Last SSN 1 & 3 ·      Year 5: 2023-24 - Last SSN 5 & 7   Options for Individual Professional Development Plans (IPDP) to Promote Design Thinking and Action Research for Tenured Teachers in Off-Cycle Years   With a focus on School and Curricular Design, Student Voice, and Teacher Collaboration, EES will expand the ways in which tenured teachers may engage with their colleagues to transform practices, school culture, and teacher leadership to benefit student learning and aspirations. View a sample template here.   Teacher Focus on Student Growth   In an effort to eliminate the predictive nature of expected targets, EES will focus on student-centered growth that assesses what is valued in the school or Complex Area rather than on Student Learner Outcomes (SLOs). Teachers and administrators will have the flexibility to determine the appropriate assessments and measures of student growth.   Overall, these changes reflect the Department's continued commitment to simplify teacher evaluations while ensuring that educators are provided with feedback to inform practice and advance student learning and achievement. Further implementation guidance and details on these adjustments will be reflected in the SY2019-20 EES Manual.   Questions about EES adjustments may be directed to Office of Talent Management, EES Help Desk at (808) 586-4072.

VIEW EMAIL ONLINE The Power to Change Hawai'i for the Better Public education is a nexus of change for Hawai'i. Throughout this past year, I've spoken about the power and promise of the Hawai'i DOE at our schools and forums, before the Legislature, with business and community leaders. Our power comes from our our core mission of equity, excellence and innovation for all students; and our promise is in our delivery of that mission by ensuring access, engagement, and voice for all students. As more schools and our overall educational system operate as a Learning Organization, scaling capacity to deliver meaningful, innovative and rigorous educational experiences that build college, career and community readiness for our haumana (based on their passions and interests!), the more we will see a thriving, sustainable state grounded in the values of HA. The promise of public education to provide equitable access to quality learning is the great hope of our society. In order to malama Hawai'i, we have to malama our public education system. This week our nation celebrates Public Education Week, a campaign designed to facilitate deliberate conversations and meaningful work toward bolstering our schools to best support the students we serve. (I'll be keeping an eye out for our educators who are sharing the public school love! Use #PSW19 and #PublicSchoolProud and #HI4PublicEd.) It's more than a celebration, however, it's a call to action. For the next several months, we will be engaging our staff, families, communities and partners in a conversation around our collective will to deliver on the promise of public education in a set of empowerment promises to our haumana in a 2030 Strategic Promise Plan. There is urgency around this work. Homelessness and affordable housing. Transit. Preserving the environment. Growing the strength and impact of our cultural heritage and native language. Economic development and the future of work. Clean food and water. We will leverage the cultural abundance, talent and energy of Hawai'i's public education system to meet the challenges we face and create the change we want to see through well prepared, empowered, and civically engaged young people. It is audacious and inspiring work that requires commitment from all our stakeholders to achieve. More information will be coming soon, but here are two opportunities to learn more: April 4 and April 18 Board of Education Student Achievement Committee meetings: I will be presenting the initial timeline and process, and on April 18 I will release five draft 2030 promise statements to kick off eight months of community conversations. Equity, Excellence, and Innovation: I encourage you, if you haven't already, to read the vision statement for this work that I shared in January. National Public Education Week is an opportunity to remind ourselves of the promise and power of public education in Hawai'i that has 179 years of rich history, and a future promise that is focused on student empowerment to malama Hawai'i — its people, its children, its communities, its resources, its history, its economy, its strategic global presence, its values, its voice, and so on!
