Infuse Hawaiian cultural elements into your course

Culturally relevant course content is engaging to students and can help build social bonds in the classroom. During Mahina ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian Language Month) ODEL invited Kumu Hema, a UH West Oʻahu graduate and Hawaiian immersion teacher, to present the 3-part series, Enhancing Hawaiian Cultural Competency. 

Kumu Hema emphasizes finding paths that lead to the surrounding community and ʻāina to enliven learners. The recorded sessions offer a plethora of resources and ideas to bring local knowledge and Hawaiian language to your course.
