Before this years #TeacherAppreciationWeek comes to its close, we’ve been working tirelessly on a little something special! As you may have seen from our #TeacherHeroTuesday posts, the College of Education collects #TeacherHeroShoutouts from various different High Schools and Community Colleges across the islands, and while we post the notes without homes here, we have over hundreds (literally!!!) of notes from students that know where they need to go! Those notes will be shared with the #teacherhero they belong to, along with a certificate of appreciation for being the teacher that students deserve and remember.
To all of our educators, we want to express sincerely that we appreciate you not just today, but everyday. Thank you for continuously showing up for our Keiki, giving so selflessly pieces of yourself, and ensuring that every child is growing and learning in a loving and safe environment. 💚

Did you know?! ... STE’s field study to Sendai is counted as part of a student's field placement hours! When you enroll in the April Sendai field study, you are not “missing class”... you are earning your field hours abroad! Here are just some of the ways we earned our field hours in Sendai:
We taught and made a Hawaiian culture inspired community quilt with 2nd, 5th, and 6th graders. We also experienced play-based learning in Kindergarten, visited a Miyagi University of Education affiliated Special Education school, and we taught body parts through a movement game to Middle School students.
Tune in on Aloha Friday to learn how we Spread a Little Aloha through hula and song at the elementary and middle schools🌈

Thanks to the UH College of Education, I get to student teach in my final semester—gaining real experience, building connections, and being reminded every day why this career is priceless.
Future educators, if you’re looking for a program that gives you hands-on experience before graduation, this is it!
