2015 Native Hawaiian Education Summit - Panel 4: Leadership Update

Leadership from six prominent stakeholders in the Native Hawaiian education conversation took part in the final panel of the 2015 Native Hawaiian Education Summit. These leaders provided updates on what their organizations have been doing to help advance the two goals set at last year's summit.
Panelists:
Dr. Kamanaʻopono Crabbe - Office of Hawaiian Affairs, CEO
Kathryn Matayoshi - Department of Education, Superintendent
Jack Wong - Kamehameha Schools, CEO
David Lassner - University of Hawaiʻi, President
Catherine Payne - Hawai‘i Charter School Commission, Chair
Dr. Kauanoe Kamanā - ‘Aha Pūnana Leo, Board Chair
Keaomālamalama-the 2015 Native Hawaiian Education Summit- took place over two days from July 20-21, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Ka‘iwakīloumoku Hawaiian Cultural Center at Kamehameha Schools Kapālama Campus.
The summit was an opportunity for attendees to interact with speakers, panelists, and peers from various communities and entities on topics related to the forward movement of Hawaiian education.
Last year, summit participants ratified two goals-to advance ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i expectations and practices and to actualize and increase the use and practice of ‘ike Hawai‘i. Both goals will be used to reinforce the vision that in 10 years, kānaka will thrive through the foundation of Hawaiian language, values, practices and wisdom of our kūpuna and new ʻike to sustain abundant communities.
This year’s summit took steps towards making progress to achieving two goals-‘Ōlelo Hawai‘i and ‘Ike Hawai‘i--and defining what success should look like for Native Hawaiians in the future.
