Project Description:

Kākau mea nui 2.0 (Writing Matters) will address the achievement gaps faced by Native Hawaiian (NH) students through implementation of a teacher focused, job-embedded professional development (PD) program. The project will build upon the work of a previously funded NH Education Program Grant, Kākau mea nui 1.0. Kākau mea nui 2.0 is supported by research and the evaluation results of Kākau mea nui 1.0. As teachers attitudes, knowledge, skills, and approaches to teaching writing improve, the students they teach will become more proficient in writing at a significantly higher rate than what is typical for the population by grade level/age which is the goal of Kākau mea nui 2.0.
