The Native Hawaiian Education Association (NHEA) is a private non-profit organization of Native Hawaiian educators. The organization was started in 1998 with its first Convention on the island of Maui. Adapted after the National Indian Education Association (NIEA), NHEA facilitates a network of Hawaiian educators to attend to the various educational issues which challenge the Hawaiian population and is designed to be a self-sustaining umbrella organization for Hawaiian education and Hawaiian educators.
NHEA is a grassroots organization focused on supporting, encouraging, networking, collaborating, and furthering the work of those tasked with the responsibility of educating Native Hawaiian children. As an association, NHEA advocates an educational philosophy which acknowledges a Native Hawaiian perspective to teaching and learning in the 21st century.

Description
Kathy Glass—President of Glass Educational Consulting and author of Lesson Design for Differentiated Instruction—will explain how Response to Intervention (RTI) provides a roadmap for implementing differentiated instruction (DI) in the language arts or social studies classroom. She will define differentiation and share several practical DI tools, strategies, and assessments, such as: engaging instructional strategies for all learners, tiered instruction, Role-Audience-Format-Topic (RAFT), exit cards and dialectical journals. Ms. Glass will also share differentiated assessments and address how teachers may formulate differentiated assessments that allow students to demonstrate knowledge in a way that highlights student achievement. Participants will leave with an inventory of differentiated ideas and products to share, use, and/or adapt immediately in a language arts or social studies classroom.
This webinar will be particularly useful for 3rd - 10th grade language arts or social studies teachers, department chairs, curriculum designers, and those who support RTI.
