Upcoming Educator Communities of Care Workshops
In spring 2023, HEA will also sponsor face to face workshops on Oahu, Kauai, Maui, and Hawaii Island (Hilo) for in-service educators statewide at the P-12 and higher education levels serving in Hawaii public and private schools, to continue this work and share well-being and mental health resources. Dr. Troy Hutchings, national content matter expert, will lead attendees in discussions of utilizing the Model Code of Ethics for Educators in creating caring environments that facilitate safe spaces for educators to discuss ways to support their practice and each other. Generous sponsors are Kaiser Permanente Foundation, Atherton Foundation, and the East Hawaii Community Foundation. The workshops will be held on the following Saturdays:
• March 4 at Leeward Community College
• March 25 at the University of Hawaii at Hilo
• April 1 at Maui Community College
• April 29 at Kauai Community College
Dr. Hutchings will offer four virtual sessions in June and July to follow-up with in-depth discussion focused real life scenarios to support implementing Communities of Care at attendee school sites.
