Students will be assessed at the end of the semester for their performance as Emerging Hawaiian Leaders and Learners. The values we have been focusing on are Aloha, Kuleana, and Ho’omau. Students have been keeping informal records of evidence that they are meeting their values, and I use my class observations and the grade book as my evidence. I have made my formative assessment of each student, and have put this in the grade book. I have sent each student a personal email as to my reasons behind my assessment. They all had the opportunity to respond to me, and if they had sufficient evidence that I made a mistake in my assessment, then I changed it.
Hua means that they have provided me so much evidence that they understand this value, practice it, and serve as models to others of this value.
Pua means that for the most part, they show understanding of this value, and try to practice it.
Liko means that there is either a lack of evidence of understanding or practice, or there is evidence that they are sometimes doing the opposite of this value.
Kupu means that this student has actually not been practicing this value.
