Teaching Public Service Announcements
Manoa’s College of Education has developed three public service announcements featuring Hawai'i Department of Education teachers explaining the rewards of teaching.
“By showing real teachers sharing why teaching is so rewarding, we hope that current students thinking about their future careers, and even non-education professionals looking at a career change, will see the teacher in themselves and choose to become teachers” says Professor Curtis Ho.
KGMB, KHON, and Oceanic have agreed to provide airtime. The Hawai'i DOE Teleschool Branch and UH Distributed Learning and User Services will also show the PSAs on their educational channels. It is anticipated that other stations will support this initiative by providing airtime as well.
“All aspects of the PSAs—the photography, visual effects, music and quotes—help to send positive messages about the teaching profession and education in Hawai‘i,” says TQ Grant Instructional Media Designer Patrick Nakamura.
