2015 Native Hawaiian Education Summit - Panel 3: Measuring Native Hawaiian Student Success

The third panel for the Native Hawaiian Education Summit 2015 focused on how Native Hawaiians should look to define success. Too often are success indicators based upon Western ways of thinking and there hasn't been a consensus among Native Hawaiians of what success actually looks like to us.
Panelists:
Dr. Sylvia Hussey - Native Hawaiian Education Council director
Dr. Kalehua Krug - UH Mānoa College of Education professor
Roxanne Stewart - Ka ʻUmeke Kāʻeo
Kīhei Nahale-a - Papahana Kuaola program director
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.
