Teacher Training Initiative Takes Shape Under COVID-19 Federal Grant - Honolulu Civil Beat
The initiative to develop digital lesson plans is being funded with $5 million in federal relief funds. Reading time: 5 minutes.
Hawaii community groups plan to convene dozens of local educators this summer to help build an open-source digital collection of lesson plans and teaching materials that will be free and accessible to students, teachers and parents by 2022.
Funded with half of the $10 million of a federal grant the state received last April to address pandemic-related learning loss, the effort addresses the need to develop more place-based, culturally relevant content for use in the classroom and home.
