Na Kumu Alaka 'i - Teacher Leader Academy
TLA 20-21 Cohort
Mahalo to the 20-21 TLA Cohort for their commitment and dedication to the students, staff and stakeholders in Hawai'i public schools! These thirty-nine teacher leaders completed action research projects in the midst of a pandemic, and having never met one another in-person, developed one of the strongest networking communities possible!
