Get ready for Teacher Institute Day
HSTA's Teacher Institute Day is the single largest professional development day on the school calendar and allows you to network, work on school-related issues, and pursue professional and personal growth. You will also vote on your chapter officers and state NEA delegates.
Here are a few tips to get the most out of your day:
Know where to park
We've listed parking options for nearly all chapter Institutes, however carpooling is strongly suggested. Oahu members, if you plan to park at Ala Moana Center near Atkinson Street, you must download and display this pass on your dashboard.
*You must be logged in with your registered account to view these procedures.
Plan your workshops
You'll have the opportunity to attend two free workshops on Teacher Institute Day. There are a variety of options to choose from, including educational resources, and financial and retirement planning, all designed to help you grow in and out of the classroom.
Stay for the door prizes
All chapters are giving away amazing prizes. You could win an iPad on Oahu or a Hawaiian Airlines prize on Kauai, but for most of these giveaways, you must be present to win.
Tonight, Ewa Makai Middle School teacher Cynthia Tong, left, was honored at the NEA Foundation's Salute to Excellence in Education Awards Gala in Washington, D.C. She was one of five educators to receive the prestigious Horace Mann Award for Teaching Excellence.
Earlier this week, Ala Wai Elementary Title I coordinator Sara King was surprised with the Milken Educator Award, known as the "Oscar Award of teaching," during a school-wide assembly.
Teachers meet with state lawmakers for Lobby Day
Members of HSTA's Government Relations Committee, which includes teachers from every island, gathered at the State Capitol to meet with lawmakers from their districts.
