Educational inequality is present in our community. Our belief and actions focus on harnessing the assets and talents already present in the community, incorporating them into learning approaches that make academics relevant.  INPEACE’s focus on Educational Equity and Teacher Development acknowledges the cultural background, community intelligence, positive role models, and the strength of shared perspectives that shapes the lives of our keiki.  We envision a community where keiki learn from teachers who were in their shoes, sitting in the same seats; and we seek to ensure that communities have teachers who are invested in building a better future for the community they call home.
