“Every Student Deserves Someone Special”
We just want to call attention to this awesome project led by one of our own. On March 11, 2021, the University of Hawaii at Manoa and Hawai'i Public Schools launched the Every Student Deserves Someone Special campaign website. A collaborative project, spearheaded by the UHM College of Education (COE), Department of Special Education (SPED) University of Hawaii at Mānoa Department of Special Education, the campaign addresses the ongoing challenge of special education teacher recruitment and retention in Hawaiʻi.
The goal of Someonespecialforstudents is to increase the number of students pursuing a teaching degree or certificate through the UH System. In this case, the campaign specifically promotes SPED programs while helping to destigmatize special education and foster support for individuals with disabilities.
Meet the inaugural SPEDucator Project fellows here: sites.google.com/hawaii.edu/the-speducator-project/meet-the-speducators
Visit the Every Student Deserves Someone Special campaign website to learn more about becoming a SPED teacher: someonespecialforstudents.com/
