University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>–West Oʻahu<\/span><\/a> Associate Professor Brenda Machosky<\/strong> and Assistant Professor David Kupferman<\/strong> received a $20,000 grant from the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources program<\/a> to create the Kumu Wai Wai: Teaching from the Source program, a series of workshops for secondary teachers at Nānākuli High and Intermediate School.<\/p>\n

Utilizing online source materials<\/h2>\n

Participating social studies and English high school teachers will team up with teachers in other disciplines for the workshops at UH<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span> and develop classroom curricula that uses primary sources from Library of Congress databases. The developed curricula will address common core and Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> state standards for implementation in classrooms in early 2016.<\/p>\n

In addition to the vast virtual resources available through the Library of Congress, the workshops will also include direct archival work in the ʻUluʻulu<\/span> Henry K. Giugni Moving Image Archive of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span><\/a> at UH<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span>. Teachers will learn about archival preservation, cataloguing and research, and the many online and material resources available through the ʻUluʻulu<\/span> Archive collections.<\/p>\n

“The Library of Congress has an impressive collection of primary source materials in online formats, from maps to letters and diaries, to pictures,” said Machosky. “And there is a lot that is specifically relevant to Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>. I’m looking forward to learning along with the teachers about the potential of this awesome resource.”<\/p>\n

Working with West Oʻahu<\/span> area educators<\/h2>\n

Machosky and Kupferman will work directly with the teacher teams on developing new and engaging curriculum units that fit with existing requirements and address individual teaching styles.<\/p>\n

“Kumu Wai Wai gives us the chance to work more closely with teachers from our neighboring high schools on the Leeward Coast who teach some of the largest numbers of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander students in the state,” said Kupferman. “The program also offers an opportunity to share information with teachers in the field about UH<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span>’s bachelor’s degree programs in education that are designed to serve our West Oʻahu<\/span>u area community.”<\/p>\n
