The post Crossing Cultures first appeared on University of Hawaii System.]]> Kauaʻi Community College will adapt the Kauhale concept of teaching and mentoring across our campus while renovating existing areas for enhanced teaching and learning. The Kauhale originated in ancient Hawaiian residential compounds, which were organized around hale dedicated to specific functions. Rather than separate the community into individual nuclear families, each in its own house, the extended family all used a common hale as functional gathering places for common activities, resulting in the formation of community.

Kauhale connects existing programs while enabling us to improve crosscultural and multi-disciplinary learning and working environments. Hawaiian learning involves both the body and the mind as instruments of knowing. Knowledge, according to Native Hawaiian learning styles and other activities, is a balance grounded in experience such as hearing, touching, sensing, feeling, doing, thinking, listening, learning and reasoning. Therefore, where and how you teach and mentor must be included in the educational approach to include a sense of belonging and purpose to ensure success. As part of this focus we are renovating existing Engineering and Hawaiian Studies facilities, and building a teaching canoe (waʻa) and hale waʻa on campus.

Kauaʻi CC is also improving curriculum to include new STEM-oriented programs in PreEngineering, Digital Media and Hawaiian Language, Hands on learning of Polynesian canoes and voyaging, Hula and Language Arts, and Mālama ‘Āina. This grant also funds a pilot project for Early College Math as well as a mobile STEM teaching laboratory called “CogsGo!.”

The project grant, “Hānai a ulu: Feed and Grow— Nurturing student parents and STEM at Windward Community College,” will enhance student success through two major projects:

  1. Student Parent Center development which seeks to strengthen student parents’ success. This project will create a Student Parent Center to include a student parent counselor, textbook library and a Hawaiian immersion childcare center for infants and toddlers. This project will address a gap both in the windward community, where infant and toddler care facilities are scarce, and at Windward Community College—the only community college in 鶹ý lacking a childcare center.
  2. STEM facility renovation and curricular improvement. With a goal to increase student participation and success in STEM programs at Windward Community College, this project will renovate outdoor, indoor and virtual learning environments. It will provide enhanced technology, data access and opportunities for laboratory experience focusing on the needs of Native Hawaiian students— 42 percent of the college’s student population is Native Hawaiian.

These services are vital at this time, as Windward Community College has increased the number of STEM based degrees and certificates including the associate in science degree in natural science and a certificate of achievement in agripharmatech, which incorporates classes on Native Hawaiian botany and plant use.

Year 1: 10/01/2014-09/30/2015  $1,997,067
