'REDESIGNING SCHOOLS' Community members, including our educators, have been contributing to updating Hawaii's strategic plan for public education. In Goal 1: Student Success of the Strategic Plan draft, the first objective focuses on student empowerment: All students are empowered by their learning to achieve their aspirations for their future.(View the draft of Goal 1 here.) We have been listening to students about their aspirations and their desires for their education through focus groups and surveys.  On August 6, 109 students who engaged in a design thinking challenge, “Redesigning Schools,” developed prototypes including a student-run store filled with “school merchandise (designed by students) that fund improvements to the school and good causes” and an incentive machine that “motivates students to study, improve their grades, attend class and have a good attitude,” among others. Their ideas will inform the plan. Watch the video. FOLLOW US: Facebook | Twitter | Vimeo | Pinterest      ONLINE: HawaiiPublicSchools.org This email was sent to all Hawaii DOE staff.
