elcome to Currents 2017, the

College of Education’s magazine

highlighting the achievements of our

students, faculty, alumni, donors, and

friends. I have often stated the College

of Education is more than anyone knows,

and it is true. While we focus on our

mission of preparing tomorrow’s teach-

ers, educational leaders, researchers, and

athletic trainers, our faculty and students

are conducting research on all aspects

of education, preschool through gradu-

ate school.

This year, we witnessed the culmination

of the three-year Worldwide Voyage

of Hōkūle‘a and its message of Mālama

Honua. In November 2013, we signed the

Promise to Children that has served as a

focal point for engaging with the voyage

and implementing programs across the

college, culminating in extensive displays

of student and faculty work at the Hawai‘i

Convention Center celebrating the return

of Hōkūle‘a in June 2017. These efforts

are now essential elements of what the

COE is and does.

Faculty have proudly adopted the Nā

Hopena A‘o framework created by the

HIDOE and, in collaboration with the

Uehero Academy for Ethics in Education,

incorporated Philosophy for Children

Hawai‘i (P4CHi) across our teacher prep-

aration programs. Together with Mālama

Honua, these initiatives bring depth of

meaning to A Sense of Purpose, A Sense

of Place for both students and faculty.

Faculty have been working to respond

to student needs by creating new

degree tracks, new certificate programs,

increasing pathways to help address the

statewide teacher shortage, creating

an education minor, and adding a field

to teaching licenses. A number of high

demand programs have waiting lists

of applicants, including the BS in KRS,

the EdD, MEd programs in STEMS2,

educational administration, learning

design and technology, and the post

baccalaureate and master degree in

special education.

The Office of Student Academic Ser-

vices (OSAS) has greatly expanded its

reach by promoting and recruiting for

all programs, undergraduate and gradu-

ate, creating and maintaining extensive

digital data systems, advising through

face-to-face and distance technology,

and establishing articulation agreements

with all community colleges.

Among other initiatives, we increased

support for Improvement Science strat-

egies using data for continuous improve-

ment with funding from the Castle Foun-

dation, and supported graduate assistants

who are analyzing available data sets or

conducting case studies of “bright spot”

schools with funding from The Learn-

ing Coalition. We further committed to

engaging with the Waipahu Professional

Development School Complex, now in its

second year, with faculty working directly

in schools with teacher candidates and

mentor teachers, while providing school-

based professional development.

Under contract from HIDOE, faculty are

developing state tests in Hawaiian lan-

guage, having completed tests in grades

three and four in mathematics, language

arts, and science. In development are

tests in the same subject areas for grades

five and six.

The COE received a grant from Mott

Foundation to establish and maintain

the Hawai‘i Afterschool Alliance (HAA) for

the advancement of sustainable, quality

out-of-school time programs that result

in improved academic, social, emotional,

and physical outcomes for all children

and families in Hawai‘ i. With funding

from the State Legislature, KRS faculty are

expanding work in concussion research

and education statewide.

With funding from the UH President’s

office, KaiMedia produced a multime-

dia campaign called Be A Hero, Be A

Teacher. See the feature in the follow-

ing pages. The videos of the campaign

have received wide acclaim and add to

the COE campaign called Love What You

Teach, Teach What You Love. Both cam-

paigns, combined with scholarship funds

provided by the State Legislature, are

intended to attract candidates to teach-

ing as a career.

And we have significantly expanded

international program collaborations,

hosting delegations from Sendai Uni-

versity, Tsukuba University, Ritsumeikan

University, Bukkyo University, Miyagi Uni-

versity of Education, Zhejiang University,

and others as well as providing support

for our COE students to study away at

institutions in Japan.

So, as you can see in this issue, 2017 has

been a very productive year. However,

on a sad note, we lost friends and col-

leagues. Our beloved Dr. Niki Libarios,

OSAS Director, passed away unex-

pectedly on August 19, 2017. Niki was

an inspirational leader in our college,

on campus, and in the profession. He

changed us all for the better. He left an

indelible impact in shaping the college.

We are indebted to Niki on so many levels

and miss him greatly.

Flip over your issue of Currents to find

our Annual Report for 2017, which pro-

vides data on our productivity, financial

resources and expenditures, and diver-

sity. Ours is a dynamic, energetic, and

innovative college, and I think you will

agree with me when I say, the College

of Education is more than anyone knows.

Enjoy.

The College of Education (COE) continues

to receive top rankings for its programs. In

2017, the COE was recognized for its gradu-

ate programs, blended special education and

elementary education programs, as well as for

its education programs overall.

The COE continues to be listed among the

top 100 graduate schools of education in

the nation, ranking 69 out of 256 schools

in the 2018 U.S. News Best Graduate Schools

edition. College Choice ranked the COE in

their “25 Best Special Education Degrees for

2017,” citing the college’s Bachelor of Educa-

tion in Exceptional Students and Elementary

Education (ESEE) program. The 2018 Times

Higher Education’s World University Rankings,

which provides data and benchmarking tools

for universities in every continent, ranked the

COE 86th for its education programs.

Voice of the Sea won a 2017 Bronze Telly Award for an episode about Our

Project in Hawai‘i’s Intertidal (OPIHI). The OPIHI episode, titled Intertidal

Algae and Invertebrates, explores the different types of algae and inverte-

brates with researchers who are working with teachers and students around

Hawai‘i to monitor the health of the intertidal environment. “The Telly Award

demonstrates the synergistic impact of educators and scientists working

together to discover, teach, and share,” said host Dr. Kanessa Duncan. A

signature project of the University of Hawai‘i Sea Grant Center and the COE

Curriculum Research & Development Group (CRDG), Voice of the Sea has

won six previous Telly awards since it began airing in January 2014.

March 23, 2017 marked the inaugu-

ral COE Day at the Capitol event. COE

faculty, staff, and students spent the

day at the Hawai‘i State Capitol where

Senator Michelle Kidani’s office provided

them with a room to exhibit and discuss

information about the college. “Our hope

is that attendees leave the event having

learned about the diverse impact that

the COE has across our whole state,” said

Jessica Miranda, COE Director of Assess-

ment, Accreditation, and Accountability.

“We also hope to build positive relation-

ships through the conversations that we

have at the event.”

PROGRAMS & PROJECTS

DreamHouse ‘Ewa Beach Charter School

will open its doors in July 2018. Offer-

ing families another option at the sec-

ondary level, the school will start with

6th grade and add one grade each year.

With a founding team comprised largely

of COE alumni, professors, and doctoral

students, DreamHouse plans to become

a 6th–12th grade school of 700 students

by the 2024–25 school year. “Our parents

want their children to know who they are

and where they are from,” shared Alex

Teece, DreamHouse Founder/Director

and COE doctoral student. “Our fami-

lies want them to also feel prepared and

empowered about where they are going.”

PROGRAMS & PROJECTS

With the generous support of the State Legislature and the

Hawai‘i Department of Education (HIDOE), the COE was able

to offer $600K in scholarship stipends to recruit new teacher

candidates. Designed to address teacher shortage areas –

Hawaiian Language, world languages, English, mathematics,

and science – the program targets HIDOE employees who

are already teaching and who serve as emergency hires, sub-

stitute teachers, or educational assistants. This unique part-

nership between the COE and HIDOE is providing working

educators with an opportunity to obtain a Post-Baccalaureate

Certificate in Secondary Education (PBCSE) and to apply for

a teaching license from the Hawai‘i Teacher Standards Board

(HTSB). Dean Donald B. Young said. “It is the first time State

scholarships have been available to support teacher prepara-

tion. We greatly appreciate the leadership of Senator Michele

Kidani in helping to make this opportunity a reality.”

Offering Scholarship Stipends for Teacher Initiative

The COE Department of Kinesiology and Rehabilitation Science

(KRS) offers numerous opportunities for students to learn, teach,

and engage with the community. Under the direction of Assistant

Professor Kelle Murphy, the Transdisciplinary Motor Clinic (TMC)

provides children of all abilities between the ages of 3–10 the

opportunity to develop their fine and gross motor skills. Serving

as the laboratory component of several physical education teacher

education classes, the clinic is run by undergraduate students

under the guidance of KRS faculty. “The motor clinic has played

an important role in my daughter’s physical and social develop-

ment… [through] structured physical movement, reinforcement

of skills, and games,” said Brittney Yim.

In 2017, Murphy also piloted a swim program for adolescents

with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In collaboration with the

Hawai‘i Autism Foundation, KRS students began teaching swim-

ming skills and safety twice a week as part of a 10-week laboratory

section of KRS’s diversity and disability course (KRS 443). “Several

mothers said that our KRS students were able to get their children

to do more in the water than they have seen,” Murphy said. “It is

really amazing to see how their bodies calm down after about 20

minutes of working with them in the pool.”

Expanding Outreach through Exercise

The Ethnomathematics and STEM Insti-

tute in the COE, led by Associate Pro-

fessor of Mathematics Education Linda

Furuto, was selected for a UH Presi-

dent’s Green Initiative Award. “We are

honored to receive this award, and are

especially grateful to work with, learn

with, and learn from the University of

Hawai‘ i Office of Sustainability, com-

munity leaders, and industry partners,”

Furuto said. “Together, we are commit-

ted to sustainability through curricu-

lum, research, community engagement,

operations, and cultural connections to

our past, present, and future generations

of students.” Ethnomathematics was one

of only three recipients in the leader-

ship in sustainability activities category,

specifically cited for their leadership

in exploring ancestral knowledge and

modern sciences.

Institute for Teacher Education (ITE) Sec-

ondary Program Director Tara O’Neill is

part of a $350K multi-grant program

awarded by the National Science Foun-

dation (NSF) to support STEM and place-

based curriculum for future math and

science educators. One of the programs

to receive funding, the UH MakerSTEM

project, will engage college students

and high school teachers in biologi-

cal research and modern STEM learn-

ing techniques. “We are particularly

excited that the UH MakerSTEM funding

will enable faculty from ITE Secondary

and the UH Institute for Marine Biology

to engage pre-service science educa-

tors in authentic, place-based, science

investigations and secondary curriculum

design,” O’Neill said.

Institute for Teacher Education Associate Specialist Amber Strong is part

of a three-year $90K grant program to enhance how Hawaiian history and

culture is taught in Hawai‘i’s public schools. The Creating Humanities Com-

munities grant program, part of a National Endowment for the Humanities

initiative, will off er professional development workshops for public school

teachers who need models to teach Hawaiian history using the newly-

adopted College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework. Makaiau, who also

serves as the Director of Curriculum and Research at the UH Uehiro Academy

for Philosophy and Ethics in Education, will partner with the Mānoa Heritage

Center (MHC) and the Hawai‘ i Department of Education.

Department of Curriculum Studies Pro-

fessor Pauline Chinn received a $1.77

million grant from the National Science

Foundation (NSF) for Transforming Scien-

tifi c Practices to Promote Students’ Inter-

est and Motivation in the Life Sciences: A

Teacher Leadership Development Interven-

tion. Three courses, underwritten by NSF,

integrate science with culture and place

to engage students in developing design-

based solutions to local problems of eco-

nomic, cultural, and ecological impor-

tance. Chinn indicated that the program

is aligned with the vision of Hōkūle‘a’s

Worldwide Voyage and the Promise to

Children signed by the COE, University

of Hawai ‘ i , and Hawai ‘ i Department

of Education.

PROGRAMS & PROJECTSPARTICIPATING IN FUNDED PROGRAMS

PROGRAMS & PROJECTS

The Curriculum Research & Develop-

ment Group (CRDG) received a $2.3

million grant over three years from the

U.S. Department of Education, Native

Hawaiian Education Program, for Mohala

I Ke Ao (MIKA): A culturally-responsive,

multi-tiered beginning reading support

system for schools and communities with

diverse learners.

Project Director Hugh Dunn said, “Mohala

I Ke Ao is a large-scale comprehensive

effort led by a longstanding partnership

between CRDG’s Pacific Literacy Con-

sortium (PLC) and the Hawai‘i Depart-

ment of Education’s Office of Hawaiian

Education. “Project MIKA will also team

with early literacy researchers at the local

and national levels and program provid-

ers whose work is at the intersection of

education, neuroscience, and policy.”

MIKA is designed to improve children’s

foundational early literacy skills, which

are critical for a successful transition to

higher levels of reading competence.

The program will annually serve approxi-

mately 6,000 students and 350 teachers

in 12 Hawai‘i public schools across four

islands and six complex areas.

The Center on Disability Studies (CDS)

has been awarded $6.9 million in grant

funding from the U.S. Department of

Education and the U.S. Department of

Health and Human Services for four of

its programs. With focus areas including

literacy, math, science, and health, the

programs address the needs of Native

Hawaiians, Native Americans, Pacific

Islanders, Hispanics, individuals with

intellectual and developmental disabili-

ties, and other underserved populations

in Hawai‘i.

K–3) will receive $1.7 million over three

years from the U.S. Department of Educa-

tion, Native Hawaiian Education Program.

Under the direction of Sara Banks, LDM

K–3 will work to improve the academic

outcomes of Native Hawaiian children in

Hawai‘i’s elementary schools.

Another U.S. Department of Education,

Native Hawaiian Education Program grant

project, Ka Pilina No‘eau, will receive $1.5

million over three years to enhance and

improve the math and science outcomes

of Native Hawaiian students. Directed by

Kiriko Takahashi and co-directed by Hye

Jin Park, the project will develop, imple-

ment, and replicate the Math and Science

Learning Model (MSL Model).

Project BEAM (Be A Mathematician) will

receive $2.5 million from the U.S. Depart-

ment of Education, Jacob K. Javits

Gifted and Talented Students Educa-

tion Program. The five-year project, also

under the leadership of Hye Jin Park and

Kiriko Takahashi, will scale up and eval-

uate a model designed to increase the

number of middle school Native Hawai-

ian, Native American, Pacific Island, and

Hispanic students, identified as “math-

ematically promising.”

The U.S. Department of Health and

Human Services will award $1.2 million

to the Hawai‘ i Paraprofessional Training

Institute (PTI) over a four-year period. The

purpose is to build statewide capacity to

train and employ skilled behavioral health

paraprofessionals, especially in rural and

underserved areas of the State of Hawai‘i.

Housed at CDS under the direction of

Tamara Tom, the PTI is collaborating

with Leeward Community College and

BAYADA Behavioral Health to provide

scholarships to eligible individuals who

have not attained a bachelor’s degree.

Tara O’Neill, Director of the

Institute for Teacher Educa-

tion Secondary Program and

the Curriculum Studies STEMS2

master’s concentration, is the

recipient of a 2017 Board of

Regents’ Medal for Excellence

in Teaching award. Crediting

the Native Hawaiian concept

of a‘o (to teach and to learn),

O’Neill says, “This reciprocal

process of teaching and learn-

ing guides me and my students

through self-ref lection and

supports productive and criti-

cal science argumentation. We

work together, even in moments

of cognitive dissonance and

conflict, through a democratic

exchange.” As director of the

A‘o Hawai‘i grant project, she

has worked with K–12 educa-

tors developing STEMS2 units

associated with the Worldwide

Voyage of Hōkūle‘a and Hikia-

nalia. This involves designing

and evaluating multicultural

STEM curr icula and profes-

sional development around

the Native Hawaiian theme of

Mālama Honua (to care for the

earth and her people).

Academic Adv isor Denise

Abara and Graduate Informa-

tion Off icer Adam Tanners

were selected for the Region 9

Excellence in Advising Innova-

tion Award 2017 by the National

Academic Adv i s ing A sso-

ciation (NACADA). They were

recognized for their work on

Mākālei, the College of Educa-

tion’s online major declaration,

admission, information, tutorial,

and graduation portal system.

“It’s truly an honor for Mākālei

to be recognized by our premier

advising association and to see

our college recognized for all

the progressive things we do

to help streamline the process

for advisors and students,”

Abara said. As a result of the

efficiency improvements Abara

and Tanners implemented in

Mākālei, prospective students

are able to access applications

as well as admission status

notifications sooner, leading to

higher enrollment.

Professor Bryan Cook and Asso-

ciate Professor Lysandra Cook,

in the Department of Special

Education, were awarded the

Kirk Award by the Council for

Exceptional Children’s Division for

Learning Disabilities (CEC-DLD).

Their work, “Research Designs

and Special Education Research:

Different Designs Address Dif-

ferent Questions,” was selected

as the best practitioner article

published in Learning Disabili-

ties Research & Practice (LDRP)

during the 2016 volume year.

“We have been concerned about

the gap between research and

practice in education for some

time, especially its implica-

tions for the quality of instruc-

tion provided to learners with

disabilities,” Bryan explained.

“One approach for bridging the

research-to-practice gap is to

provide educators with tools to

be more informed and critical

consumers of research.”

through commitment and contributions

to the college and/or community, which

moves education in positive directions

LYSANDRA COOK Associate Professor, Special Education

JAMIE SIMPSON STEELE Associate Professor, Institute for Teacher Education

“

“

Lysandra and Jamie equally played a vital

leadership role in ensuring the success

of the complex Exceptional Children and

Elementary Education program (ESEE)

merged elementary and special education

certification program. They both were

instrumental in facilitating the process

of redesigning new course work as well

as forming new networks and partner-

ships with various schools and community

members. They also brought professional

development opportunities to the faculty

and expanded learning/field opportunities

for the students who have been nurtured

and monitored very closely.

Director, Institute for Teacher Education in Elementary Education

DONNA GRACE

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

Recognizes an individual who, over the

course of a career, has achieved signifi-

cant outcomes in teaching, scholarship,

and/or service

“

“

Donna has been the Elementary Chair

for many years, leading the department

through multiple state and national policy

changes. The department consistently

prepares high quality elementary teachers

despite the many challenges teacher prep-

aration faces across the nation. Donna has

been an inspiration to all the faculty in

the department. She supports the faculty

fiercely to ensure our professional well-

being, while fighting for the well-being

of our students. Donna also has created

a culture of shared ownership in the

department - void of conflict and compe-

tition. We have all benefited from Donna’s

tremendous leadership over the years.

Dean, College of EducationDONALD YOUNG

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

Recognizes an individual who, over the

course of a career, has achieved signifi-

cant outcomes in teaching, scholarship,

and/or service

“

“

Dr. Donald Young’s decades of truly

“lifetime” service to the COE is exem-

plary. His many contributions to the COE

include his years of leadership at CRDG,

a champion of the University Laboratory

School partnership, and his more recent

years of leadership as the COE Dean or as

“SuperDean.” He is truly a master leader

and is always amiable and professional,

even in the midst of crisis. His sense of

humor is contagious, and he knows how

to make people feel comfortable in any

context. Dean Young has given his lifetime

to the COE and is more than worthy of

this recognition.

In this book, Educational Foundations Associate Professor Hannah M.

Tavares considers the potential of photographs for orienting in a critical

direction the scope, questions, and interests of the disciplinary conventions

of the fi eld of educational inquiry. She explores how visual objects may

help illuminate broader socio-historical events and logics that are deeply

entwined with education yet remain marginal to or “outside” of what con-

stitutes its domain of study. Photographic images are treated as resources

for re-visioning the founding disciplinary objects of educational studies by

reorienting its proper objects of study, traditional archives, persistent cat-

egories, frames of reference, and accepted portals of research and inquiry.

Tavares received the 2017 Critic’s Choice Book Award from the American

Educational Studies Association for the book.

This book, co-authored by Educational Psychology Professor Marie Iding,

is designed for those planning to teach–or already teaching and hoping to

improve instruction–in colleges, universities, or other institutions of higher

education. It delineates the process of planning a course from designing

course objectives to creating a syllabus, selecting course materials and

technologies, determining which teaching strategies to employ and how

to best implement them, to creating assessments, course evaluations, and

assigning grades. Advantages and disadvantages of teaching and assessment

techniques are shared along with research-based guidance for eff ective

implementations.

Dr. Brent Edwards, Educational Foundations Assistant Professor, brings a

new focus and new insights to the phenomena of global education poli-

cies and, relatedly, international policy transfer. While numerous studies

have been produced which examine how global education policies—such as

vouchers, charter schools, conditional-cash transfers, standardized testing,

child-centered pedagogy, etc.—travel around the world and are implemented,

there is a lack of research which illuminates the origins and evolution of such

policies. The book addresses this critical gap in our knowledge by looking

at multiple aspects of the trajectory of a particular policy which was born

in El Salvador in the early 1990s and subsequently went global.

YOSHI (YOSHIE) KANESHIRO, Department of Educational Psychology (EDEP) Sec-retary from 1968 until 1989, passed away on April 23, 2017. Having lived for many years in Honolulu and later Hawai‘i Kai, her homes were well known as gathering places for family and friends. She built community and transformed the college workforce, leading the way from a typewriter-driven personnel to a computer-driven one. Her network of connections within the COE and the university was extensive, enabling her to navigate through issues with ease and to help other do the same. She was recognized with a Willard Wilson Award for Distinguished Service to the University.

YOSHIMITSU “YOSHI” TAKEI died on January, 30, 2017 at his home in Mānoa Valley at the age of 84. He and his wife, Paula S. Takei, created the Yoshimitsu Takei Family Endowed Scholarship Fund in 2010. Despite disruptions in his education during the “war years” of the 1940s, Yoshi was committed to earning a college degree. He paid his way by manag-ing several bands and enlisting in Advanced ROTC. After his military service, he taught at Āliamanu Intermediate School and Konawaena High School before earning his master’s degree from the University of Hawai‘i and his doctorate from University of California Berke-ley. He would spend 27 years teaching at Pennsylvania State University’s sociology and education departments before retiring and returning home to Hawai‘i where he taught part-time in the COE Department of Educational Foundations.

FRANCES JENKINS PICKENS passed away on November 4, 2017 at the age of 90. An accomplished artist, teacher, and lifelong supporter of education and fundraising, she established the Frances M.J. & Alexander Pickens Scholarship Fund in Secondary Education with her late husband, Dr. Alexander L. Pickens, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa College of Education (COE) Professor Emeritus. Born in Dodd City, Texas, she earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of North Texas and a Master of Educa-tion degree from the COE. She taught art in public schools throughout the U.S. mainland, including Texas, Georgia, Michigan, and New York before coming to Hawai‘i where she taught art at Punahou School, then Kamehameha Schools (1965–1985).

ERNEST “NIKI” D. LIBARIOS JR. died on August 19, 2018 at the age of 47 due to liver failure. Libarios was serving as the Director of the Offi ce of Student Academic Services (OSAS) at the time of his sudden illness. Known widely as an inspirational force who was proud of his Filipino roots, Libarios was born in Honolulu. He devoted his life to serving his community, family, and students, making it his mission to help broaden access to education for all people. He taught elementary school at Pearlridge, Salt Lake, and Ka‘iulani Elementary Schools before working as an instructor at Leeward Community College and as counselor at Honolulu Community College. After earning a bachelor’s degree in elementary educa-tion from the COE, he went on to earn a master’s degree in counseling psychology from Chaminade University and a doctorate in education back at the COE. Most recently, he took the lead in designing and leading the University of Hawai‘i’s “Be a Hero. Be a teacher” campaign (see pg. 24).

STUDENTS & ALUMNI

COE alumni, Jessica Villanueva, Masaru Uchino, Kelly Sutcliff e,

are 2016–17 Milken Educator Award winners. The nation’s premier

teacher recognition program for 30 years, the prestigious award

includes a $25,000 cash prize.

Uchino, a third grade teacher at Momilani Elementary School in

Pearl City, Hawai‘i, earned a Master of Education in educational

technology in 2011. Infusing his curricular and extracurricular

activities with a variety of tools and methodologies, he leads

his students through innovative STEAM (science, technology,

engineering, art, mathematics) experiences. He not only writes,

produces, choreographs, scores, and directs the school’s annual

third-grade drama production, but he also incorporates technol-

ogy into the journalism club. “I owe a big portion of who I am

as a public school classroom teacher to the College of Education

and its educational technology master’s program,” Uchino said.

“The faculty and staff were amazing role models and mentors

who allowed me to challenge myself in my own personal edu-

cational journey.”

Sutcliff e, a fourth grade teacher at Jeff erson Elementary School

in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, graduated magna cum laude with a Master

of Education in math curriculum studies in 2014. Whether solving

studies mathematics, I feel the college prepared me to incorporate

real-world problem-solving into my math and science lessons,” Sutcliff e

said. “I continue to fi nd creative and innovative ways to engage and

challenge my students through STEM.”

Villanueva, a second grade teacher at Suisun Elementary School in

Suisun City, California, earned a dual Bachelor of Education degree

in elementary education and special education from the COE in 2007.

She is the fi rst teacher in her district to receive the Milken Educator

Award. Integrating technology into her lessons, she helps her stu-

dents hone their research, communication, collaboration, and public

speaking skills. With her background in special education, Villanueva

creates lessons that are accessible to all learners. She has a record

of transforming at-risk students into thriving learners who produce

some of the highest scores. “UH’s College of Education prepared me

for the real world of teaching,” Villaneuva said. “I learned how to be

a knowledgeable, caring, and eff ective teacher because of their out-

standing program.”

campus in Hilo and its UH Center in West Hawai‘i. Freitas received

Retired Hawai‘i Community College Professor of

Carpentry, Nishimura earned a BEd in Secondary

Education from the COE. He is credited with the

major growth and development of Hawai‘i Com-

munity College over the course of his 24-year

career. Giving students hands-on experience

in carpentry and construction, he coordinated

several projects, including one of the college’s

most well-known, the Model Home Project. Each year, Career and

Technical Education (CTE) program students participate in the project,

designing, constructing, preparing the site, and conducting the electri-

cal work and landscaping of a new home for a Native Hawaiian family.

Nishimura was also instrumental in improving professional and per-

sonal development opportunities for Hawai‘i Community College’s staff.

He has been honored with two Outstanding Instructor Merit awards,

an Excellence in Teaching Award, and was named one of the University

of Hawai‘i Community Colleges “50 Finest” in 2014. Prior to becoming

a professor, he worked for commercial building contractor S.K. Oda,

residential contractor S. Yamada Contractor, and as a carpenter for

the Department of Defense. For more than four decades, starting in

1952, Nishimura served in the Hawai‘i Army National Guard’s 487th Field

Artillery Battalion and later the 2nd Battalion, 299th Infantry, retiring as

a chief warrant officer in 1995.

Sokunthearith “T” Makara, recent

graduate of the Department of Learn-

ing Design and Technology (LTEC), is

the 2017 Burniske Outstanding Master’s

Project Award winner. The award is

given annually to an LTEC master’s

student whose graduate work best

exemplifies what beloved Associate

Professor Buddy Burniske valued in his students’ work: inno-

vation, high quality research and writing, and significance

to the field.

Makara’s project addresses the issue of unequal access to

quality education among the students in the capital city and

provinces in Cambodia. He developed an open web-based

e-learning platform called “Open School” for teachers and

students to create and take online courses for free. “It is such

a great honor to have this precious opportunity to be part of

Dr. Burniske’s legacy,” Makara said. “To be given this award

means that I am not the only one who believes this work is

important and that my efforts have been appreciated.”

Rosalee Osana Tela-Shoulders, who earned an MEd in cur-

riculum studies (MSLMED) from the COE, is the 2017 U.S.

Territories History Teacher of the Year. Selected by the Gilder

Lehrman Institute of American History, Shoulders received

history books and other educational materials for her school’s

library as well as a $1,000 honorarium. “When I received the

news, I was ecstatic,” Shoulders said. “I love teaching Ameri-

can history and government, and this recognition validates

that I am doing something right with my students!” A teacher

and social studies department head at Nu‘uuli Vocational

Technical High School in American Sāmoa, Shoulders has

plans to enroll in a doctorate program in education and says

she has her sights set on Territorial Teacher of the Year.

Five COE alumni were named

State and District Teachers of

the Year. Vanessa Ching is

the State Teacher of the Year,

and Francine Hughes, Naomi

Salaveria, Gregg Iha, and Del

Onaga are district winners.

the tools and strategies to work with a variety of

people,” Ching said. “Although the program was

rigorous, I was fortunate to work through these

challenges with my talented cohort that I am still

very close to today.”

The Maui District Teacher

o f the Year, Hughes

holds both a professional

diploma and an MEd from

the COE. She is a resource

teacher with 20 years of

Department of Education

(DOE) experience. “In my current position as a

District Resource Teacher, working with many

school administrators and teachers, I often

cannot see what immediate impact I’m having

because I don’t work directly with students

anymore,” she explained. “Being recognized

for this award makes me feel like I am making

a positive difference in educators’ lives so they

can, in turn, make a significant difference in

their students’ lives.

Salaveria, the Hono-

appreciate the pedagogic foundation

that the College of Education pro-

vided me,” she said. “I believe that all

children can grow socially, emotion-

ally and academically and it is my job

to help foster their growth through

engaging, relevant lessons that build

on their learning strengths and per-

sonal interests.”

Central District Teacher of the

Year, Iha earned both a BEd

and a professional diploma in

elementary education from

the COE. A resource teacher,

Iha spent his early career at

Nānāikapono Elementary on

the Leeward Coast where he learned to value

every individual. He is responsible for initiat-

ing the Six Pillars of Character program in the

Mililani Complex that is still practiced today. “It

is extremely rewarding to be recognized in this

way, but there are so many teachers who are

equally, if not more, deserving of this recogni-

tion,” Iha said. “In my 30 years with the Hawai‘i

DOE, I have had the honor and privilege of

working with so many of these incredibly hard-

working, dedicated, and inspiring teachers who

are so generous with their time and energy.”

Onaga, the Windward Dis-

trict Teacher of the Year,

received his MEd in cur-

riculum studies from the

COE. He has worked with

Summer 2017 marked the fi fth cohort of COE students and faculty

to visit Bukkyo University and its partner schools under the Interna-

tional Inquiry and Field Study course (ITE 403B). It was also the

third visit that included an additional week at Miyagi University of

Education. Japanese students and faculty typically visit the COE

for a week the preceding spring semester. This reciprocal exchange

has led to long-term engagement between alumni of the course

and the students in Japan. Some of these individuals, who are also

school teachers, utilize distance learning technology to connect

their K–12 classrooms with those of their counterparts in Japan.

For more than 14 years, Sendai University has been coming to the

COE Department of Kinesiology and Rehabilitation Science for a

week-long study tour focusing on athletic training and rehabilita-

tion. These visits are often the fi rst time a student leaves Japan and

experiences an English-speaking country. Students sit in classes,

participate in short workshops, and observe athletic team practices

and games. They often add these experiences to their portfolio

towards obtaining athletic training certifi cation in Japan.

In the summer of 2017, Zhejiang University in China engaged the

college to host the second week-long summer program on Inno-

vation and Entrepreneurship in Sustainability Education for their

selected group of undergraduate and graduate students.

The STEMS2 program in Curriculum Studies was engaged by the

University of Tsukuba to create professional development experi-

ences for their teachers in their eff ort to introduce and imbue the

concept in their affi liated schools. The pilot is scheduled to take

place in Spring 2018.

The Institute for Teacher Education is developing proposals

towards an English Language Program for Bukkyo University and

Miyagi University of Education to better prepare their pre-service

teachers to teach English to elementary school students in Japan,

in anticipation of the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVESPARTNERS AND FRIENDS AROUND THE WORLD

In 2017, the COE was ranked 86th in the world by Times Higher

Education for degree-granting institutions in education. The

college has always had a global outlook, dedicating time and

resources to engagement on an international stage. This outlook

aligns with our vision of “Sense of Purpose, Sense of Place,” which

seeks to prepare educators, leaders, and researchers for the world

of today and the world of the future, while understanding our role

here at home.

The COE also entered into formal partnerships with the Kyoto

University Graduate School of Education in Japan and Keimyung

University in South Korea during 2017. And, the Department

of Educational Foundations created a new doctoral degree in

education with a focus on Global and International Education and a

master’s degree in education with a focus on Global Perspectives

in Educational Policy and Practice. In addition, the college began

a programmatic eff ort to further support more COE students to

aff ord study abroad opportunities. We are committed to providing

our students opportunities to engage with the world beyond our

borders, as well as to invite our partners to learn about our place

of learning.

The International and Special Programs (IASP) in the College of Education (COE) supports

international activities and initiatives for the entire college, striving towards creating a global

experience for students, faculty, and staff .

In September 2017, the University of Hawai‘i (UH) launched the multimedia campaign, Be a hero.

Be a teacher. Produced by local advertising fi rm KaiMedia with funding from the UH President’s

offi ce, the widely acclaimed campaign was directed and driven by the College of Education’s

(COE) beloved late Ernest “Niki” Libarios Jr., Director of the Offi ce of Student Academic Services

(see pg. 17). Under his inspirational leadership, educators from the four UH campuses worked

together to develop the powerful and uplifting campaign, aimed at both encouraging and cel-

ebrating teaching as a profession.

Be a hero. Be a teacher. has become part of the COE’s existing cam-

paigns, Love What You Teach, Teach What You Love and Grow Our

Own, meant to address teacher shortages in Hawai‘i. Components of

the new campaign include two videos for use online and in social

media, which have become part of a public service announce-

ment campaign, airing on local television stations. Posters have

also been mounted at UH campuses and public and private

schools across the state.

Hero of the CampaignERNEST “NIKI” LIBARIOS JR. lent his expertise and passion to help create the Be a hero. Be a teacher. campaign on behalf of the UH System. Having come from a family of educators, he devoted his life and career to serving others. Shortly before his unexpected passing, Libarios recruited many of the teachers and students in the campaign and appeared in it himself – both to keep the project personal and aff ordable. The longer slam poet version of the video includes a dedication to him.

KENDRA KOELSCH, elementary education student and Rainbow Wahine Vol-leyball Starter, says she “found her calling” when she entered the COE BEd in Elementary Education program. Despite being a starting college athlete and student teacher, Koelsch fi nds time to serve as a COE ambassador and role model, traveling with the Offi ce of Student Academic Aff airs and the university to promote college and help recruit students. With an infectious enthusiasm, Koelsch exclaimed in a COE interview, “I want to create a class-room environment that appreciates all of the wonderful people, places, and cultures our world contains!... How cool is it that elementary school teachers have the ability to infl uence their students’ love for learning and life?! I want to be that teacher!”

She earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary and special education and a master’s degree in special education with a literacy specialist emphasis from the COE. Having an older sister with autism, Gallagher enrolled in an American Sign Language class at Kapi‘olani Community College where she was inspired to pursue the dual preparation program in elementary and special education at the COE. She found that the more she learned about teaching students with disabilities, the more she loved it. Using tools and strategies she learned in the master’s program, such as locating and imple-menting evidence-based practices, assessing students properly to inform her instruction, and progress monitoring, Gallagher says she plans to teach special education in Hawai‘i forever.

JENNIFER HUDSON, a third grade teacher at Ala Wai Elementary School, was featured in a UH sustainability story (http://bit.ly/2D9beK7) that aired on local news stations throughout May 2017. Hudson, who earned a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from the COE, worked with her students to present a class project, titled “Make the Ala Wai Awesome.” Groups of students exhibited sustainability-themed models and research, which included prototypes for fi ltering trash from the Ala Wai Canal before it reaches the ocean. UH Presi-dent/UH Mānoa Interim Chancellor David Lassner commended Hudson for fostering a creative team learning environment and for allowing her students to engage in real world problem solving.

DEBORAH MORROW is a Master of Education in Early Childhood Education graduate. An educator, mother, and student, Deborah earned her master’s degree after having to take an extended medical leave in the middle of her program. With four children of her own, she managed to continue working while battling breast cancer. Once in remission, she was able to pick up where she left off in the program with an entirely diff erent cohort. She returned to not only graduate, but to be selected as the fi rst graduate student marshall to represent the COE during the Fall 2017 Commencement Ceremony. As a special education preschool teacher, Morrow says her goal is to improve inclusion opportunities for special education preschoolers in the state.

BETH PATEMAN served as the College of Education Interim Associate Dean for Academic Aff airs from 2008–2009 and 2012–2018. She began her career at the COE as an assistant professor in 1996, advancing to associate and full pro-fessor in the college’s Institute for Teacher Education (ITE). Pateman served as Interim Director of ITE and Chair of the Elementary Education program, and she successfully guided the college through two National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) visits in 2009 and 2014. Having specialized in child and adolescent health, she helped develop the fi rst Health Education Standards for the Hawai‘i Department of Education. Before joining the college, she taught in the Georgia Public Schools from 1973–1986. She completed doctoral work at Indiana University and began her higher educa-tion career at the University of Florida. She worked in the Division of Ado-lescent and School Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and taught school health education courses at Emory University before moving to Hawai‘i in 1994. Pateman was awarded the Distinguished Service Award from the American School Health Association in 2000.

DONALD B. YOUNG, retired Dean of the College of Education, began his career as a seventh through ninth grade teacher at Kailua Intermediate School. His fi rst role in the college was as a science teacher in the University Laboratory School and curriculum developer in the Curriculum Research & Development Group (CRDG). In 2001, Young was appointed Associate Dean for Research before becoming Director of CRDG in 2003, a role he would maintain through his appointment as Interim Dean of the college in 2006. He also served as Director of the Hawai‘i Educational Policy Center (HEPC) from 2001–2009.

CURRENT GIFTS

The most common way to make an

immediate gift is by writing a check

or online via our website. Depending

on your tax situation, this generates

a charitable income tax deduction for

you in the year of the gift.

Real estate, securities, or bonds held

for more than a year also have the

advantage of providing you a chari-

table deduction based on the current

fair market value as well as bypassing

capital gains tax on the appreciation.

Similarly, if you are over 70 ½, donat-

ing directly to UH Foundation via your

regular IRA distribution can also help

avoid taxes.

CHARITABLE BEQUESTS

A bequest makes it possible for you

to make your wishes known today

without relinquishing needed assets

during your lifetime. If you don’t

decide where your assets go, the gov-

ernment will do it for you.

PLANNED GIFTS

Sometimes called deferred gifts, the

term “planned gifts” refers to specific

strategies that can benefit the college

at some point in the future while offer-

ing immediate benefits to you.

The gift annuity is a great example

of how a gift generates fixed income

for you. This is actually a contract

between you and the college, via the

UH Foundation, that is part gift and

part annuity. In addition to the annuity

payment, you receive a charitable

income tax deduction and a portion of

each annuity payment may be tax-free.

The deferred payment gift annuity,

in which annuity payments are

deferred for a number of years, offers

rates that make it an attractive supple-

ment to retirement income.

The charitable remainder trust is

perhaps the most versatile charitable

giving tool. With this, it is possible

to bypass capital gains tax on the

sale of highly appreciated assets,

generate an increase in income,

receive an attract ive char itable

income tax deduction, and fulfill your

philanthropic objectives.

PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS

Many UH faculty and staff choose to

make regular gifts to support the areas

at UH they care about. By completing

the Salary Assignment D-60 Form,

you can easily set up an automatic

deduction and help the UH students,

programs, research, and initiatives of

your choice.

Aloha and thank you for your support

of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa

College of Education. In our last fiscal

year (July 1, 2016 – June 30, 2017), you

supported us with nearly $3.4 million.

This was a tremendous year for the

college in which we received 1,681 gifts.

Our donor feature in this issue showcases

a very generous gift from Donald & Jean

Aten. They used an appreciated property

to set up a Charitable Remainder Trust. By

having the property fund the trust, they

avoided the capital gains and received a

tax deduction. The trust will eventually

establish a Scholarship Endowment to

support College of Education Students.

Thank you Donald & Jean!

Another recent topic of interest is

the new Tax Reform laws Congress

enacted in December 2017. The goal

of the legislation was to reduce taxes

while simplifying the tax code. The

UH Foundation has purchased and has

available a booklet entitled Your Guide to

Effective Giving after Tax Reform.” I have

both hard copies and electronic copies

available for your use. If you would like

one, please let me know.

Finally, if you have any questions about

how you can support our students,

faculty, and programs, please call or

email me. Or, if you just want to explore

some ideas and discuss how you might

Leave Your Legacy, I would be happy to

talk with you!

A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT

Mahalo nui loa,

Mark Fukeda Director of Development

(808) 956-7988

mfukeda@hawaii.edu

The alumni, friends, and faculty of the College of Education have always displayed a charitable spirit. This is evidenced by the number of gifts the College receives each year – one of the most of any academic unit on the Mānoa campus. Our tax codes provide benefits that make it possible for the char-itable spirit to be expressed through many forms of giving.

The Donald G. and Jean C. K. Aten Endowed Scholarship was established

to support students pursing an undergraduate degree in any area of study

at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa College of Education.

Donald G. Aten enrolled in the College of Education, known as Teachers

College, in 1953 after serving fi ve years in the United States Marine Corps,

including a combat tour in the Korean War. He was able to enroll with the

fi nancial assistance provided by the Veteran’s Readjustment Assistance Act

of 1952 (G.I. Bill).

Donald met his wife, Jean Chiseyo Kawatachi, who was already a student

at Teachers College, and the two married in 1955. They both received a

bachelor’s degree in education from the college before going on to earn

graduate degrees from Columbia University.

In 1959, after teaching in public schools for several years, Donald began

working for Teachers College as an instructor in education. Over the follow-

ing three decades, he would earn a doctorate in education and become full

professor. He retired in 1992 as Emeritus Professor of Education.

Jean spent several years interning at a school library and teaching in a

private school before becoming the Pauoa Elementary School Librarian in

1958. During a two-year leave (1961–63), she earned a master’s degree in

library science and was employed by the New York City Library as a children’s

librarian. She returned to her position at Pauoa until her retirement in 2003.

“Were it not for the scholarship I received, I wouldn’t have been able to earn

my degree,” Donald said. “I want to be able to do that for someone else.”
