Developed in a collaboration by three Hawaii educators, the curriculum integrates knowledge and practices in literacy and culture, art and science, with a goal of creating a transformative educational experience for every child, building from the students’ home language and culture. aEnglish aIndigenous societies aN81-390 Visual Arts- Study and teaching.
