The University of Hawaii was awarded a $682,186 Project Grant by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076). The grant, titled "Culturally Responsive Education and Teaching Empowerment in Mathematics in Hawaii (CREATE-MATH-HI)", aims to develop highly effective, culturally responsive mathematics teachers to serve the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) multilingual student population in Hawaii. The project will recruit and support 13 content-rich, highly-qualified secondary mathematics teachers through a collaborative effort between the University of Hawaii at West Oahu and the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The grant will provide scholarships and stipends, as well as implement initiatives such as the Peer Academic Leader (PAL) program and the Math Teachers' Circle of Hawaii (MATCH) workshops to support the scholars in becoming effective STEM educators. The project will run from August 2024 to July 2029.
