Na faalauiloa e le Matagaluega o Aoga a le Setete o Hawai\u02bbi (HIDOE) le faiaoga o le Saienisi a le Aoga Maualuga a Kalani ma le Career and Technical Education (CTE) Bryan Silver o le 2025 Hawaii State Teacher of the Year. Na maua e Silver le faailoga maualuga o faiaoga a le setete mai le Gov. Josh Green ma le Superintendent Keith Hayashi i le taimi o le\u00a0sauniga fa'ailoga<\/a>\u00a0i Uosigitone Place i le aoauli nei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O le fa'ailoga e tu'uina atu i tausaga ta'itasi i se faia'oga i potu a'oga filifilia mai le silia ma le 13,000 a'oa'o a le HIDOE. O le Silver sa i ai i le 16 Faia'oga Fa'apitoa o le Tausaga ma le Faia'oga Charter School of the Year ua aloaia i aso nei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFa\u2019afetai faiaoga, mo le fa\u2019atulagaina o le fa\u2019atonuga ma le fa\u2019aauauina o lenei mea. Matou te fa\u2019amaualalo e fa\u2019atasi ma a\u2019oa\u2019o o lo outou tulaga maualuga,\u201d o le saunoaga lea a le Gov. Josh Green i lea fa\u2019amoemoe. \u201cI le avea ai ma sui o le setete atoa, faamalo atu ia te outou uma. Matou te faafetai ona sa e tumau i aoaoga. Faafetai mo au galuega uma ma le tausiga o la matou tama.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"Bryan o se ta\u02bbita\u02bbi i le CTE Engineering ma robotics i tulaga uma i le lotoifale ma le atunu\u02bbu," o le tala lea a Superintendent Keith Hayashi. \u201cO lona fa'atupuina malosi o le Innovation Station, fa'ato'aga fa'ato'aga ma hydroponics i totonu o le lotoa, ma polokalame fa'akomepiuta ua avea ai Kalani High School ma nofoaga mo a'oa'oga STEM i Hawai'i atoa. Ona o le aganuu a Bryan o le faiga faapaaga ma le aofia, o isi a\u02bboga, tamaiti a\u02bboga, ma faiaoga ua vala\u02bbaulia i totonu e a\u02bboa\u02bbo, siitia le maualuga mo le tulaga lelei i le setete atoa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEM ma robotics o tuinanau ia Bryan Silver. O le tautua a Silver e 24 tausaga o se faia\u2019oga i le Itumalo o Honolulu School District, o se fa\u2019ata\u2019ita\u2019iga lea o lona fa\u2019amaoni i ana tamaiti a\u2019oga ma le matata o le STEM ma le robotics. O le masina lenei, na avea ai o ia ma tagata Hawai\u02bbi muamua na mauaina le 2024 Harbour Freight Tools for Schools Prize for Teaching Excellence, manumalo i le $50,000 mo le polokalame robotics a Kalani High School. I Kalani, o lo'o pisi pea Silver ona aso i le avea ai ma faia'oga Career and Technical Education e ta'ita'ia vaega e fa o vasega fa'ainisinia, STEM Capstone ma fa'atautaia polokalame fa'akomepiuta pe a uma le a'oga - FIRST Robotics, FIRST Tech Challenge, VEX ma Drones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ua tula'i fou le polokalame robotics a Kalani i Hawai'i i lalo o le vaavaaiga a Silver, lea na amata i le 2002. Sa fesoasoani tele le Silver i le fa'atuina o polokalame robotics i le setete atoa, ma fesoasoani e fa'ateleina le numera o 'au robotics a le LEGO FIRST i le silia ma le 220 i lenei avanoa fou fa'atupula'ia. I le avea ai ma faufautua mo le Team Magma 3008, na maua e Silver le $283,000 i fesoasoani fesoasoani mo le Team Magma ma atiina ae ni pisinisi se tolu e fa'atautaia e tamaiti a'oga o lo'o fa'aauau pea le fa'aputuina o tupe e fa'amautu ai polokalame fa'akomepiuta. O le tau mafanafana na te'a nei, na ofo mai ai Silver ma Faiaoga Across Borders Aferika i Saute, fa'atautaia a'oa'oga a le STEM robotics mo le vaiaso mo faiaoga e 600. O galuega tautua fa'apenei na ia maua ai le fa'ailoga o le Presidential Lifetime Volunteer Achievement mo le sili atu i le 4,500 itula o tautua i nu'u.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Na faia e Silver le a'oa'oga Engineering CTE i le A'oga Maualuga a Kalani lea na maua mai ai e le to'atele o ana tamaiti a'oga sikolasipi ma tulituliloa galuega a le STEM. Talu ai nei, na ia ta\u02bbita\u02bbia ai le taumafaiga i le fausiaina o le Innovation Station, o se potuaoga feavea\u02bbi ua fa\u02bbapipi\u02bbiina i masini lomitusi 3D, laser cutters ma isi meafaigaluega e fa\u02bbamoemoe e fa\u02bbaoga avanoa STEM i tamaiti aoga ma faiaoga i a\u02bboga eseese i O\u02bbahu. Ua fa'amanuiaina le Silver i le fa'ailoga iloga a le Peresetene mo le Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching, le Albert Einstein Educator Fellowship Award, ma le NASA Fellowship Activity award. O ia foi o se Eagle Scout ma i lona taimi avanoa e te mauaina ai o ia e maulu ma tuutuu i vaa folau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afai tatou te galulue fa\u02bbatasi, fefa\u02bbasoaa\u02bbi fuafuaga, ma lagolago le tasi i le isi tatou te avea ma faiaoga sili atu. E sili atu lo tatou fa'atasi nai lo na'o i tatou, o lea se'i o tatou liusuavai i lalo o puipui."<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O le Silver e fai ma sui o Hawai'i i le polokalame a le National Teacher of the Year. O se tagata manumalo a le atunuu o le a faaigoaina i lenei tautotogo i Uosigitone, DC Aso nei o le Faiaoga o le Tausaga faailoga e aofia ai:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
