Throwback to earlier in the past Spring semester of student teaching with one of our SMAP Ambassadors (because we totally missed out on posting this earlier 😅😭)!

“Hi there, everyone! My name is Nicole, and I am one of the social media ambassadors! My student teaching journey has been quite an adventure! While it comes with its fair share of stress—like taking charge of the classroom and being observed during lessons—it’s also filled with exciting challenges that keep me on my toes. Despite the hectic moments, I try to focus on the little things that bring a smile to my day. Watching my students grow and realizing the positive impact I have on their lives is truly rewarding. This opportunity is something I wouldn’t trade for anything else!”

Being in the ESEE (Exceptional Students in Elementary Education) cohort for the past 2 years of our college careers has been so nurturing and overall an amazing experience. Which is why, having our last official seminar together this past week has been so bittersweet. Here’s a quick look into what we all did together to celebrate our accomplishments and times together! ❤️✨🥳

“Hello everyone! My name is Nicole Dolor-Bala, and I’d like to share how I wrap up my week as a student teacher. This journey has been quite a rollercoaster. I’ve had to shift my mindset from thinking like a student to thinking like a teacher. Between preparing back-to-back lesson plans and gradually taking over the classroom, it can feel overwhelming at times. However, it’s essential to take time for yourself to de-stress at the end of the week in order to maintain a healthy balance. Thank you all for watching!”

The Kahalewaihoʻonaʻauao Program wrapped up the semester with their Spring Panina earlier in May at the beautiful Kaimana Beach Park! 🌺🏖️
Instead of the usual formal vibes, we embraced the sunshine, ocean breeze, and each other 💛Students from Terms 1 and 3 came together to reflect, connect, and celebrate their journeys toward becoming amazing educators ✨📚
Everyone brought a special “artifact” from their teaching experiences—each one tied to one of the program’s 5 pillars: Community, Wisdom, Wonder, Design, and Reflection. The day was full of laughs and excitement, along with a few bittersweet moments.
🎓Also, huge shout out to the newly named, Ka‘ōnohimālamalama cohort, for finishing this chapter—we’re so proud of you! Their name can be roughly translated to “center of shining knowledge.” 🌈🎉
