Alisa Bender, Hawaii, MEd Student



After graduating with a 4.0 GPA in Sociology and Journalism, Alisa served as a reporter for the Honolulu Advertiser.

Her decision to pursue a Master of Education in Secondary Education grew out of her experiences at James Campbell High School in Honolulu.

"Hawaii Pacific University was a logical choice for me. The admissions department promptly returned my calls, met with me and answered all my questions."

Friends describe Alisa as always upbeat, organized and nurturing, a true pillar of her community. She currently serves on the neighborhood board for Ewa Beach.

The Master of Education in Secondary Education (M.Ed.) develops professional educators who are reflective practitioners dedicated to the scholarship of teaching and school renewal. The program is based on an innovative, standards-driven, field-based curriculum that employs cutting-edge educational technology to integrate content and pedagogy. Employing a digital portfolio-based assessment system, university faculty and mentor teachers will guide the candidate's progress in achieving professional standards and proficiencies.

Hawaii Pacific University's Teacher Education Program will prepare candidates to become competent, professional educators through classroom discussions and field experiences. Teacher candidates will learn in small classes and will enjoy individual attention by university faculty and mentor teachers. Graduates will become part of an alumni 'ohana (family) that will provide continuing mentoring and support to new teachers.

The program prepares individuals for licensure in Hawai'i and 44 other states in six content areas:

  • Computer Science
  • English
  • English as a Second Language
  • Mathematics
  • Science
  • Social Studies
