AT THE EVENT ON JANUARY 30: You will get to meet these programs as well as other supporting agencies live, in virtual meeting rooms.
8:30 AM - 9:00 AM OPENING / WELCOME / ORIENTATION: Join us for a welcome and orientation, especially if you've never used virtual meeting room platforms before. Representatives from Hawai‘i's largest employer of teachers, HIDOE, will also give an overview on the state of current teacher recruitment.
9:00 AM - 2:45 PM SATEP BREAKOUTS and DROP-IN SUPPORT: Each state-approved teacher preparation program (SATEP) will be giving presentations to share more detailed information on their offerings that lead to teacher licensure. These are 45-minute blocks from 9:00 am to 2:45 pm. Meanwhile, whenever you're not attending a live SATEP presentation, you can check out different DROP-IN SUPPORT rooms that will take one-on-one questions first-come first-served (sort of like tables at a fair that you can just drop in and see if someone is available to answer your questions).
2:45 PM - 3:00 PM CLOSING: We'll give some buffer time for folks to come out of the SATEP BREAKOUTS and DROP-IN SUPPORT for a final closing of the event. We totally understand if you're in a rush and don't come to the closing - we won't be offended! We just hope that you would get all the information you need by this time to make a decision on next steps.
IMPORTANT: You will need a computer or smartphone and internet connection to attend this virtual event.
