A Hawaiʻi School–University Partnership Aimed at Promoting Teacher Candidates’ Abilities to Work with Micronesian Islanders
from Part VIII - Looking at School–University Partnerships across Geographic and Cultural Borders
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 November 2025
There is a need for culturally responsive pedagogy in school–university partnerships to prepare teachers for working with Micronesian Islanders in the state of Hawai’i. As United States public schools become more culturally diverse, there is a need for teacher education programs to better prepare candidates for working with demographically diverse students. Situated in the Hawai’i public school context, we explain how teacher preparation programs may better prepare teacher candidates for working effectively with culturally and linguistically diverse students. An empirical study details how the literature informed our efforts as teacher educators to promote teacher candidates’ understandings of culturally responsive pedagogy to work effectively with Micronesian Islanders; a historically marginalized student population in Hawaii’s public schools. The chapter concludes with suggestions for research, practice, and policy surrounding increased the use of culturally responsive pedagogy in school–university partnerships to prepare teacher candidates for working with historically marginalized student populations.
