Progress with online learning at Hawaii's public schools
Hawaii's public schools will remain closed for the rest of the academic year. HPR's Ashley Mizuo tells us how online learning has been a mixed bag from Pre-K to high school.
Mid-Pac Institute on deeper learning and teaching online
A decade ago, Mid-Pacific Institute of Honolulu adopted a deeper learning approach, which is more student-centered and projecdt-based. To teach this method, the school stared Kupu Hou Academy. They train not just their own teachers but from across the state and abroad. Mark Hines is the academy's director and he discusses deeper learning pedagogy and the future of online learning.
