She died as she lived. As a Hawaiian. My heart and Aloha go out to the family and loved ones of Dr. Haunani-Kay Trask. As a kānaka, this breaks me.

If teachers aren’t joyful about teaching… there is zero chance the students will be joyful about learning.

“In the end your legacy won’t be about your success; it will be about your significance & the impact you made on every student, everyday & whether you were willing to do whatever it took to inspire them to be more than they ever thought possible.” ~ @casas_jimmy #Culturize

Excited to learn from @casas_jimmy today. “What Connected Educators Do Differently.” #EduLeadershipHI

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Some educators are exceptional. It is not a fluke, and it’s not a mystery. They are passionate about what they do… they are passionate about who they serve… and they work their butts off.

The scope of a principal’s job is so broad, it defies description. This morning, I was interviewed for a film on the impact of The Artists In the Schools program. @hawaii_sfca
