College of Education receives over $30K

Advertiser Staff

The Castle Foundation awarded $34,613 to the University of Hawaii's College of Education Curriculum Research & Development Group in support of a professional development partnership with Blanche Pope Elementary School.

The project is a part of a grant focused on improving mathematics teaching and learning in the Waimanalo community, a UH news release stated.

The partnership with BPES will continue for at least two years – the first focusing on pedagogical content knowledge and practices and the second providing follow-up and further training. This summer, the program began with a three-day mathematics content institute, visits by BPES teachers to UH Laboratory School mathematics classes, and collaborative teaming between CRDG staff and BPES teachers.
