| ===Hawaii State Teacher Fellows===
| |
| In mid-2014, the [[Hawaii State Department of Education]] announced the selection of 17 public school educators to serve on the Hope Street Group’s inaugural Hawaii State Teacher Fellows. The move is considered an important one, since they, along with the Department of Education and the Hawaii State Teachers Association (HSTA), will be considering the management regarding Hawaii's [[Common Core]] implementation. The fellows were chosen from a competitive field of candidates, and represent a variety of "outstanding" teachers in the state. Their role is to engage with the community, through data collection and media strategies. “The development of the Hawaii State Teacher Fellows is a tremendous step toward our shared commitment to engage teachers at every level,” said Superintendent Kathryn Matayoshi. “This collaborative program will reinforce our strategic work toward student and staff success in our schools. We’re grateful to our partners for their commitment and support in this effort.” The fellows will serve for the next year and have the option of continuing their service for subsequent school years.<ref>[http://www.hawaii247.com/2014/06/26/teacher-fellowship-program-to-play-key-role-in-public-education/ ''Hawaii 24/7,'' "Teacher fellowship program to play key role in public education," June 26, 2014]</ref>
