Navigating Hawaiʻi-Pacific Hallmarks, Resources, and Learning Outcomes in Foundations Courses

When applying for an “FG” designation, instructors are required to include information about how the course fulfills the FG Hallmarks and Student Learning Objectives. This workshop will specifically address the Hawaii and Oceania components of the following FG Hallmarks (General Education Website):

• Hallmark #2: Analyze the development of human societies and their cultural traditions through time in different regions (including Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania) and using multiple perspectives.
• Hallmark #5: Include at least one component on Hawaiian, Pacific, or Asian societies and their cultural traditions.

The Foundations Board will describe the criteria that the Board considers when deciding whether a course receives an “FG” designation or not, and what a successful proposal includes.

A panel of faculty members who currently teach FG designated courses in different departments will discuss how their courses meet this hallmark, particularly assignments and resources from their courses that align with this hallmark, emphasizing Hawai‘i and the Pacific Islands. Additionally, online resources shared through the General Education website will provide examples of and advice for incorporating components on Hawaiian, Pacific, or Asian societies that meet the expectations of the Foundations Board.
