Kamehameha Schools was founded by the will of Bernice Pauahi Bishop, the great-granddaughter of Kamehameha the Great.
In anticipation of ongoing and evolving challenges associated with COVID-19, Kamehameha Hawai’i has identified three learning models through which we will continue to deliver ‘Ōiwi Edge learning and teaching for E Ola! throughout the 20-21 SY.
All three models are informed by our E Ola! Learner Outcomes, and includes digital learning experiences as a critical element as it serves to strengthen a student’s learning experience through the use of technology.
In any of our learning models, learning remains our fundamental purpose as a school community. Here is what our students can expect:
| Face-to-Face Learning | Hybrid Learning | Distance Learning | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Learning Environment |
In classroom and digital learning on-campus |
A combination of in-classroom and digital learning on-campus and/or at home |
Online digital learning off campus |
| Teacher Communication | Mostly face-to-face with some digital communication | A combination of face-to-face and digital communication | Digital interactions that may be live or pre-recorded |
| Collaboration among students | Mostly face-to-face and real-time | Both face-to-face and online, with activities both working together at the same time(synchronous) and at different times independently (asynchronous) | Entirely online, with activities both happening at the same time(synchronous) and independently on their own time(asynchronous) |

Formative Assessment |
Ongoing assessment of progress towards learning goals through in-person observation or collection of evidence (conversations, observations, products). Feedback to support the learning is integral to this process.

Ongoing assessment of progress towards learning goals through in-person observation or collection of evidence when the student is in school. Incorporates a review of digital or hard copy work when students are not on campus. Feedback to support the learning is integral to this process, which might also include online office hours, intervention or enrichment time, and online synchronous experiences. |
