Summer is a time when students might miss out on a meal they would normally have at school. Thanks to @HIDOE808 and the U.S. Dept. of Ag., students age 18 or younger can receive FREE breakfast and lunch in June and July. Call your child’s school to find locations and times.

@HSGKristen @kecialeemcD @ZacharyMorita @HIDOE808 @KristiOda @DaphneOkunaga @CelestalPalace @HahaioneES @dulcy_dianne @mathieu_w @wildbillchen @maestrosvibe @MMyrmo How can I help make this happen?!

[Shawna Gunnarson @MsGunnarson]

@jonmedeiros @joshreppun @suevlee @uhmanoacoe @NadineNakamura1 @HIDOE808_DrK @HSTAvoice There are some great teachers here in West Hawai’i ready for this. I’d certainly support a resident... just send me a nice person and we’ll take care of the content! ;)

Such powerful ideas. If I were designing a teacher prep program, I’d start with shadowing Ss at multiple grade levels. So many of us start with what we know and experienced - then have our “ah-ha” and shift practice. Why not start with critical inquiry and the power of “ah-ha?”

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, I wish to honor Grant Wiggins. We worked together for more than 20 years and Grant was one of the best teachers I have ever known. Here are a few of the many lessons teachers can glean from him. https://t.co/OMIloIwVKQ

I wish schools would prioritize assessing hard to measure things like cross sector enduring skills & make policy & practice decisions from that data rather than shallow assessments that don’t really capture much beyond content knowledge. #FOW #PISA

Wonder if any West Hawai’i businesses are interested in creating this “work to school” track? Our K12 district team and college partners would love to collaborate on this! @KKCCChat @HSG_Ed @HSG_HI @HIDOE808 #HI4PublicEd

[Shawna Gunnarson @MsGunnarson]

I always jump when at a bell school - a jarring way to communicate! What if we rely on human relationships, planning and trust to “run” our schools or “manage” our Ss? Thanks for a jumping off point for thinking about these ubiquitous but perhaps outdated structures @BobbyWidhalm

[Hope Street @HopeStreetGroup]

As Hawaii educators rethink school design, @HSG_HI Fellow @BobbyWidhalm encourages communities to critically examine many of the accepted constructs of traditional education and how they support or inhibit the purpose of the school. #HSGEdfellows https://t.co/GoQctGZi0f

What awesome experiences our @mathieu_w is having in DC! I spy a great photo of him in this tweet! @HSG_HI @HIDOE808

This is one of my favorite green screen projects! 4th graders used the green screen magic to report from inside their dioramas. They researched, rehearsed, built the diorama, filmed in the green studio & edited their videos using @DoInkTweets. #gslearning @gr8ful2teach

[Shawna Gunnarson @MsGunnarson]

No kidding, this is intense. Not just a competition #ironchef serious. The clock is ticking and #chocolate is the (not so) secret ingredient! @HIChocoFest

[Shawna Gunnarson @MsGunnarson]

Relief is palpable as team one has completed plating. Now it’s on to judging @HIChocoFest student competition. Team two on deck! I feel like I’m @FoodNetwork

[Shawna Gunnarson @MsGunnarson]

There are two amazing, wonderful, women graduates of @KonawaenaHS competing in the student @HIChocoFest college culinary competition for @HawCC @Palamanui @WestinHapuna So excited to be here to (silently) cheer everyone on! #CTE #808Educate @HIDOE808 #HI4PublicEd
