She's behind the net. Over to Lucas. Lucas loses it. M Whiter there to pick it up. Mack fires it in and ball goes out of bounds off the post. Mac brings the ball into play, goes around way greylock defender and scores for her first goal of the game. Whit Whitmer first goal of the game. That's her seventh goal of the season. Marino on a draw against Law. Marino once again comes up with the ball. Marino in and out of people. Gets the ball knocked away. Comes up with the ball. Nice little soccer move. Kicks it. Flicks it between her legs to Mckne who looks to start the Sonal offense. Over to Calibris. Calibri looking for a cutter. Knocked away by Greylock. They quickly get the ball back to Aken. Akin air mails the ball to nobody. It's out of bounds. Grace Howard keeps the ball in bounds.
Thank you. Members questions. No questions. Basic question is why why do you want to serve any questions to the board and what do you bring to the board? Absolutely. Um this particular board I think um has a lot of insight as far as uh upholding the the standards of what we believe is valuable in a classroom setting. And you know, I've I've been in education now for the majority of my career, and I truly believe that there's probably no more important role than that of what our teachers do in a classroom day in and day out. And so, it would be an absolute privilege to continue to serve in that capacity, informing and learning alongside others who I think share similar beliefs. Um, having again served in classroom settings, multiple grade levels, I think I've probably taught every single grade level from kindergarten through 12th grade over the years.
Gets the ball over to Mckne. Keki goes around the defender. Gets the ball over to Leasich. Lease down to Calib. Calibri gets stopped by two defenders. Gets the ball to the middle. Ball bounces around. Mcknne picks it up. McKne driving to the net over to M. Whitwer and it looks like shooting space. S Mckne on the 8 meter mark. runs it in, misses wide. Trulio Trullio gets knocked the ball away, but she gets a follow on her. She'll be getting herself an 8 meter. It was my [Applause] Did I miss it? Was that Mac? I don't know. I was looking at the clock. Who scored that? Mac. Mac. Mac scored the goal. Goal scored by Whitworth. Assisted by Angelina Trulio. [Applause] Sorry about that mis call. I was looking at the clock. Angelina Trulio passed the ball off to Matt Whitler who scored her second goal of the game.
and then serving in various capacities um outside of a school setting, still working on behalf of our schools here in Hawaii. Um I think I have, you know, a solid knowledge base, always open to learning and um and I also I'll just add that, you know, I I enjoy the partnerships that we've extended over the years between our private school association and the Department of Education. And um I think it's one more way to strengthen some of those connections and ties. Thank you. Thank you members. Further questions? Senator, I guess I'd like to know your philosophy on how what is the teacher standards board in trying to figure out how to fill all of our teacher vacancies that we primarily have within the public school space. Um and what do you think we should do about it? An excellent question. I think it's probably our biggest area of need in Hawaii and it does extend beyond the public schools.
Spartans up two nothing. 10 minutes to go. in the game or in the first quarter. Marino against Law on the draw. Straw Greylock looking to change it up. Marina winning all three of the draws so far in today's matchup. And Addy Jordan pick comes up with that one. Addie quickly getting by everybody on the Greylock defense. She moves around around the net. Looked over to M. Whiter who one times it. Matt Whitw M Whitwar has a hat-tick already with two minutes and 13 seconds in the game. by Jordan. Nice look by Addie Jordan. Get Mac the ball. M Whit two goals the other night against Northampton and quickly surpasses that mark in today's matchup. Marino back up on the draw. Marino calling out the calls where she wants everybody to go as Addie Jordan plows through two girls and back Whitworth gets the ball. Mack over to Lucas.
The private schools uh are experiencing um similar short shortages. It's exaserbated on the early learning side um of education as well. I think we have to be open-minded. I think we have to be creative. We're up against so many obstacles. I mean we, you know, don't need to share with all of you cost of living out here is not conducive to supporting our educators in Hawaii. We need to think broadly and innovatively about how we're attracting teachers and how we're finding pathways for them to succeed in our schools. And I think it can be a multiaceted approach. I think in recent years there's been excellent ideas brought to the table. Um some are lofty but some I think are feasible. And I think it's a matter of you know again figuring out how to reach across the channels, continue working with um the University of Hawaii on pathways there and uh finding those broad levels of support.
Luke looking to take it in. She goes in through one, two, fires it over to Calib. Calib misses. Looks like a ball got knocked away. Good hustle by Calibris to get the ball back. Caroline McCasich with the ball. She fires in the middle to Sabina Mckney. Sabina Mckne throws a sidearm, misses wide. Max there to pick up the ball. Mac Whit now with behind the net over to Addie Jordan. I believe that's called the X. Yep. Yep. I am getting good at this. Addie Jordan with the ball. Addy goes in now. Mac picks the ball up. Mac in over to Addie Jordan. Addy to Mac. back. We'll get shooting space. Wait, where the ball on the 8 meter? See what she'll do with it. runs it in, throws the ball wide. Nice save by the goalie and a I don't know slashing call by the Mounties.
And I think that, you know, again, it's another opportunity potentially for some public private partnership um and how we support those pathways um uh for teachers finding their their homes in in Hawaii. I think you know over the years I'll just broad one great example of I think a very effective pathway has been the work that Teach for America has done in support of educators coming to Hawaii and I think if we can um continue working with partners like them and other organizations um you know we can we can chip away at the issue um it but it will be an ongoing issue and I think it might even get harder in the years to come. So thinking broadly innovatively and creatively I think is key. Yeah. So, so I'll bring something to your attention that I think this committee heard that I I was a little surprised on the teacher standard sports position and and you know I think you said the right things.
So, I'll go with that. Addy Jordan with the ball. Jordan runs it in. That looks like that'll be a yellow card. Addy Jordan almost gets hit in the head or did get hit in the head. Addy Jordan on the eight meter mark as Raymond will be sitting down taking a two-minute break. Addy Jordan in and a goal for Addie Jordan. Goal scored by Jordan. Congratulations to the Mount defense. Took him four and a half minutes to let Addie Jordan score a goal. Marino back on the draw. Now he's having a tough time getting possession of the ball today as M Whitler comes up with the draw and she'll slow it down and let East Lawn Meadow start their offense. M Whitler behind the the net looking for a couple cutters. Gets the ball over to Bianca Calibris. Calibri over to Kenna Kenna fires and Angelina Trullio with a goal.
It was you know being open-minded being creative. I think the Department of Education has been quite creative in bringing in J1 visa teachers and you know I think the the HS HTSB was tasked with you know trying to figure out how to deal with them and I think you know the legislature had a bill moving forward asking to you know for the board to create a special program to to credential these folks and essentially they were against the bill and I I was just so surprised that they took that position because the DOE is trying to figure out how to be open-minded and creative in trying to apply something that, you know, is is essentially a band-aid for us until we figure out the longer term solution, but they were totally against it. And and so I I don't know what you think about that, but I was very very surprised because that doesn't show me that they're open-minded and creative.
Nice quick passing by the Spartans as Ken Marino fires it into Trulio for the goal. Goal scored by Angelina Trullios by Kennedy Marino. Spartans up 5 nothing with 719 to go in the first quarter. Ball goes way up in the air. Knocked around. Addy Jordan ends up with the ball as she takes off down the sideline. She'll go right at the net. and goes five hole on the goalie for her second goal of the game. It's not for the gold.
And I I hope that you can bring some sense into what they're trying to accomplish. I I would hope to add an additional voice um to the group as far as being mindful of who's sitting at the table alongside me, but I would hope to bring an open mind and creative solutions and and just working alongside to move the needle on these issues. Um private schools have the autonomy to do so and I think you know perhaps there's some learning to do alongside everybody as as again as we think about the shortage and how we need to be flexible. Um so all I can hope is to forge relationships, right? and to hopefully uh you know continue to do some good thinking along some people that I I also believe are are well-intentioned. Yeah. No, I I think my bottom line is hopefully you can you can share that open-mindedness and creativity with with the rest of the board so that we can have good results right for our educational system.
It's not for Another three minutes is going to be continuous running clock. So Greylock ends up with the ball. Addie Jordan with a will be serving a penalty for Eile for believe I heard cross check with the ball. It's the last one minute of each quarter. Mount Greylock getting themselves an eight meter. She moves in. I can't see what the numbers are. I can't see the numbers yet. Looks like number goal scored by number 21 Molly Kowski with Mount Greylock's first goal of the game. cutting cutting ED's lead back down to five. Six to one with six minutes left in the first quarter. Mount Greylock ends up with another draw. Logger wall with the ball again. I don't know. They got some call for something. She's over to Ken Jesse. K Jessie over to Wall. gets the ball back to Ken Jesse. Kylie Marino's playing defense on her.
Thank you chair. Other questions? So um my question is Diana that in question three of the questionnaire you were sent you stated that you would bring a mindset of ensuring that interactions with its executive leadership are characterized by professionalism, partnership and mutual accountability. Can you explain your proactive approach to this? Absolutely. I mean, I I really do think it does come down to, you know, I'm I'm as much as possible a fan of listening and learning alongside others, right? And so, I really do believe that um I I will no undoubtedly have a lot to learn from those sitting around the table. And I'm going to be mindful of that. Um I think in doing so, um you can cultivate a space where where there can be I I hope uh an equal exchange of ideas and thoughts. Um, so you know, in in short, um, I think that's that's kind of my approach in general.
And now Mount Greylock will be up a man be up a man. And looks like Law will be getting an eight meter now giving Jenna Holly the fairly Dickinson commit a chance to stop her. false start on I don't know you can just randomly call on Kenna what a save by Jenna Holly Holly over to Rayold Rayold back to Holly Holly over to Mckne Knee having room to operate if she can get by her. She does get the ball over the restraining line. Addie Jordan with the ball as her penalty was up shortly after Mount Greylock's penalty. Matt Whiter with the ball. Goes around one, goes around two, fires it just high over everybody. Angel Trulio there to back up the ball. Ang with the ball behind over to Marino. Marino fires one in to Kasich. Bounces off and Aken ends up with the ball.
I have a lot to learn. I'm new at the helm at his although I've been in this space for a long time. And, um, I, you know, I think just sitting and learning alongside members of the board and others um, that will inform the work that we ultimately hope to achieve will be critical. Um, I'm not sure if that fully answers your question. I'm happy to elaborate on any given portion. I have no further questions. Members, any further questions? Sure, I have a question. Um, c could you just maybe share with me one of your thoughts on how you would be more uh bring more open-minded, innovative ideas? Like, what is something that the department is not doing or that the board is not doing that you would bring a new idea in as example? I mean, I I will, you know, be candid in saying that I do believe that there should be alternate pathways to teacher lensure in the state of Hawaii.
See how Esaw Meadow does on the ride. Not really giving Mount Greylock much of a chance. Ball bounces over everybody. Goes to Kangi as she's running down the line. She's greeted by Kylie Marino. He knocks the ball out of bounds. Marino quickly picks it up. Gets the ball back into play. Freshman is blows by everybody else. So, I'm sure everybody else in Western Mass is not going to be happy after Kenna Marino's been doing that for four years. Now, they're going to get another three more years of Kylie Marino doing that. Whiter over to Lucas. Kasich with the ball. Over to Calibris. Calibris over to Mckne. Kekne goes by her. Dips it into Kasich. Ball bounces around. M Whit seems like Mack and every time there's a loose ball, Mack ends up picking up that ball. Addy Jordan with the ball. Playing manto man. Kind of feathers one in there in Calgary.
I don't know how we move forward without it. And I think um you know ultimately it would be ideal if we're sitting at a table at a place where we can come to some sort of agreement where that you know what that might look like. Um but I I think that you know I I'll give an example. We can leverage the idea of apprenticeships or learning while doing right um through and and cultivating teachers. Um I think that there's programs that are available that could support some of those initiatives. Um I mean I started I'll give the example of myself. I fell into education. I moved to Hawaii. I didn't have anything. I was struggling to It was right after 911. Um the job market wasn't great and basically I took a teaching job and I did so at a private school and then I found my way through a pathway of education.
Oh, what a save by Aken. Goalies out of the net. She fires it over. Gets by one. Get Kylie Marino. Ends up with the ball. Gets the ball over the restraining line. Over to Calib. Calibries to Trullio. Trulio to Jordan. Goes in through one. Gets hit in the head by not one but two sticks. And she should have herself an eight meter. Addy Jordan straight on with the keeper. Bounces one past the keeper for her third goal of the game. So, two Spartans now have hat-ticks in the first quarter with M. Whiter having three and Addie Jordan getting her third goal. Spartans up 71 with a minute 53 to go in the first quarter. Marino on the draw and looks like it should be off sides on Mount Greylock. So, Esau Meadow will get the ball. Jordan with the ball. Over to Mac Whiter. Mac with a little dodge move.
Um I stepped into a classroom and I fell in love with it. And so it was a pathway and and at this point here I am 20some years later where I've worked my way through the degrees I but I learned from doing first and I learned from those around me in a supportive school setting. So I I think I am testament to finding alternate pathways through a process that sometimes um might not be the clear-cut way. Um and I think we can be a little bit creative in how we figure out how to do those things. So are are you talking about alternate pathways as far as maybe internship right after high school? Is are those internship could be apprenticeship could be learning alongside. We have amazing teachers in our state at every type of school. Um could be pathways through the university. I I think there's room for creativity.
