Nonprofit to offer courses for teachers

Maui Huliau Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting environmental literacy and leadership among Maui youth, will offer two professional development courses for teachers over the summer.

The three-credit PDE3 courses are open to state Department of Education grades 6-12 teachers of any subject, including counselors and support staff, in Maui County. Both involve virtual or in-person

sessions and lesson plan implementation during the first quarter of the 2023-24 school year.

The first course, “Kukulu Pilina: Strengthening HA through community connections,” focuses on the Office of Hawaiian Education’s Na Hopena A‘o or HA framework. It starts June 6 and includes seven, two-hour live Zoom sessions as well as in-person sessions at Noho‘ana Farm and Kipuka Olowalu. The cost is $50 and the registration deadline is Friday. The class code is #IS187945.

The second course, “En gaging Students in Climate

Action Problem-based Learning,” helps teachers create an inquiry-based climate change lesson plan over the course of six live Zoom sessions in June and July. The course is free and the registration deadline is June 23. The class code is #IS187946.
