2025 – 2026 Hawai‘i Educator’s Rising Pilot Project
In year 2 of the Hawaii EdRising pilot, the project has expanded to additional high schools and partners to provide opportunities for high school students to engage in education and career-related experiences and activities as part of the CTE Teacher Education pathway, or as an after-school club in partnership with Hawaii P-20.
Together, students will have the opportunity to be part of EdRising and participate in the first in-person Hawaii state EdRising Conference and Competition, which will be held at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa campus on Feb. 5-6, 2026.
