The SAHGYO Vision
- Goal: Build a local teacher pipeline so students can train and teach where they live.
- What students do: Start with Early College courses → earn an AST (Associate in Science in Teaching) → complete a B.Ed with UH partners; cohort mentoring throughout.
- Outcomes: College credits in high school, hands‑on classroom experience, clearer path to licensure, and momentum to return and serve local schools.
About the Program
SAHGYO is a fully online cohort‑based pathway coordinated by Hawaiʻi P‑20 with Hawai‘i Department of Education (HIDOE) and University of Hawai‘i (UH) partners (e.g., Leeward CC and UH West Oʻahu). The program aligns coursework and work‑based learning to reduce time‑to‑degree and costs while strengthening homegrown educators across Hawaiʻi.
