Maui nō ka ʻoi.
He aha lā ka ʻoi?​
He poʻokela nō ka ʻoi!
The Office of Hawaiian Education (OHE) in partnership with Maui schools and community invite you to join us for the 4th annual Nā Hopena Aʻo (HĀ) summit. This year's theme asks participants to explore what it means to be the best for and with their communities. Each experience throughout the summit will connect to this theme and help participants ground in the importance of striving for excellence in all that we do as Hawaiʻi.  During this year’s summit, the Maui schools and community welcome you to learn about what moʻolelo and traditions help them to achieve excellence and build a sense of collective pride in their community so that you are inspired to do the same for your own island home.
The HĀ Summit will bring together over 300 education stakeholders from across the state to EXPERIENCE HĀ, build a COLLECTIVE understanding of the HĀ framework, SHARE knowledge and resources to support effective use, and CONNECT to a network of practitioners.
Through the HĀ Summit experiences, participants will be able to:
  1. Articulate what HĀ means in various contexts and why it matters;
  2. Determine ways to apply HĀ school-, complex-, office-, or community-wide and support teachers, students, staff, and other education stakeholders to design environments grounded in HĀ; and
  3. Develop relationships with education stakeholders from across the state, share knowledge and resources, and build a network of support for a strengthened sense of belonging to the HĀ movement.
Date:  Friday April 3, 2020 & Saturday April 4, 2020
Location:  University of Hawaiʻi Maui College and various community sites across Maui
