Hawaii\u2019s public school classrooms include hundreds of teachers who have completed the rigorous process of meeting national teaching standards. This year alone, 59 new candidates successfully completed the months-long course and benchmarks, and another dozen instructors renewed their certification.<\/p>\n

Among the 2012 teachers who have met National Board of Professional Teaching Standards requirements are 12 individuals who live and\/or teach on the West side. According to the official state list, they are Neil Blomberg, a Kapolei High social studies teacher from Kapolei; Matthew Deeley, a Kapolei High English teacher from Kapolei; Joye Lefrandt, a Makalapa Elementary ESL teacher from Aiea; Janis Maki, a Waipahu High math teacher; Dana Tanigawa, a Waikele Elementary literacy teacher from Aiea; Pamela Chun, a Salt Lake Elementary literacy teacher from Pearl City; Hannah Hancock, a Nanakuli Elementary literacy teacher from Ewa Beach; Kulamanu Kala Goodhue, a Kamehameha Schools literacy teacher from Ewa Beach; Shelly Koyanagi, a Moanalua High English teacher from Pearl City; Lili Ann Silva, a Waianae Intermediate tech-ed teacher from Aiea; Marc Tolentino, a Mililani High English teacher from Ewa Beach; and Cynthia Tong, a Mililani High social studies teacher from Aiea.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery day, these accomplished teachers are having a positive impact on stu- dents in Hawaii,\u201d said Terry Holck, who chairs the Hawaii State Teacher Standards Board.<\/p>\n

At a recognition ceremony earlier this year, Governor Neil Abercrombie also pointed out: \u201cThese teachers exhibit an admirable commitment to excellence by voluntarily honing and demonstrating their knowledge and skills through a nationally recognized model of performance-based assessments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teaching standards will go up again next summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
