Item Multicultural Multilingual Family-school Partnerships In Hawaiʻi: “a Back And Forth Relationship”(University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2021) Radcliffe, Haley Pendergast; Halagao, Patricia E.; Curriculum StudiesFamily engagement has been shown to support student success; however, many educators wonder how to improve their own family-school partnership skills. This need for partnership becomes even more critical for multicultural multilingual students, who often encounter equity gaps due to differing schooling norms and expectations. Using the Dual Capacity-Building Framework (Mapp & Kuttner, 2013), I interviewed five multicultural multilingual families and five educators who have worked with those families to understand the experiences of multicultural multilingual family-school partnerships at a Title I school in Hawaiʻi. Findings supported the literature regarding the importance of family-school partnerships, progressing beyond partnership to relationships, and the need for quality-based measures of family engagement. Recommendations include the need for further multilingualism training in family-school partnerships, pre-service and in-service training in family-school partnerships, and institutional support for family-school partnerships, as well as a focus on family-school partnerships with Asian and Pacific Islander families.Item Learning to facilitate mathematical discourse: a sixth-grade teacher's journey of self-discovery(University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2006-08) Aiona, Andrea M.Item Pump up the pod: popular culture and podcasting in a critical secondary language arts course(University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2006-05) Bausell, Sarah B.Item Composers: ancient greece – early twentieth century “Where are all the women?”(University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2005-12) Higashi, TracieComposers: Creators of musical works and communicators of the tonal language. Those who are proclaimed "musical genius" and granted "immortality" in history through the perpetuation of their works in various types of media and in the educational institutions. In musical educational curricula that canonize the great composers from Ancient Greece through the Early Twentieth Century time periods. the question remains: "Where are all the women?" This study explores this question through a review of literature, interviews and an examination of musical works. The culmination of this project has been the creation of four original DVDs and bringing the stories of selected women composers to life.
