Professional
Development

The Uehiro Academy offers classes, workshops, and ongoing support (such as a Philosopher in Residence) to teachers who aim to incorporate philosophy, specifically p4c Hawai‘i, into their classroom practice. These professional development opportunities provide teachers with an educative experience that promotes a new understanding of the teacher-student relationship, creates a shift in the primary content of instruction, and develops methods to engage students in meaningful philosophical reflection.

Uehiro Academy faculty work closely with the Hawai’i State Department of Education to offer p4cHI workshops and Professional Development courses. To learn more about p4cHI opportunities through the DOE and/or UH Mānoa, please contact Dr. Ben Lukey (lukey@hawaii.edu). In addition, continue to check the Uehiro Academy home page for workshop announcements.

We also partner with the Professional Development Center (PDC) at Hana’hauoli School. To learn more please visit their website: https://www.hanahauoli.org/pdc
