Some thoughts
The pathway to school improvement is not paved with standardized tests.
since the 50's we've doing a lot of measuring.
School and Community leaders need to learn how to use assessment to improve schools.
True Hopelessness always trumps pressure to learn...

4 day weekend, lab, projects, presentations, HSA testing...
Aloha Kakou,
Please enjoy your 4 day weekend with fun activities including project work. Please do not forget that we have Makai lab on Wednesday, February 18th.
Please dont forget what you need which includes:
Snorkel
Fins
Swim Clothes - appropriate
Dry Clothes to change in to.
Lunch
Notes for Makai Lab
Towel
and other things you might need.
Congrats to Kyle and Isaac for doing a successful presentation of Project-based learning to most of our staff of HLC.
And on the flip side over half our class did not bring their planners to class today. This is not a good indicator. Please use your planner to keep hours and plan what you are going to do.
Be safe and Malama Pono!

Parent Teacher Conferences
Aloha,
I prefer to call it Student-Parent-Teacher conference because our students have the best idea of what they have done and what they need to do.
Basically, we are looking at what we have done and what we can do to move our students to the next grade level.
Here is a brief list of what we can get credit for here at HLC:
Projects, Math, LLE's, Electives, e2020 and Compass courses (other than math), Work from Kumu, Basic Skills Workshops, Book Reports, Summer Activities, Camp and Learning Papers.
I am still learning how all our students can best benefit from all the opportunities here at Hakipu'u Learning Center.
