Justine Maeda LIS 615 July 2012 Collection Management Portfolio: Final Report to KASHU Foundation Asian Pacific

and Native Hawaiian Collection Institutional Background Description Kaimuki High School is a Title 1 public school in the Honolulu district, located in an urbanized neighborhood. Located on 2705 Kaimuki Ave, Honolulu, HI 96816, this school services students in grades 9-12. Kaimuki High School is a part of the Kaimuki complex of schools and falls under the jurisdiction of the Hawaii Department of Education. Bordered by the Manoa-Palolo Drainage Canal, Kapiolani Boulevard, Kaimuki Avenue, Crane Park and Date Street, the Kaimuki Complex consists of 10 elementary and middle schools. In the 2009-2010 school year, 77 teachers held fulltime positions, and the student/teacher ratio was 15:1. About half (49.9%) of the student population were eligible for discounted/free lunch. (schooldigger.com). In 2009-2010, the total student population consisted of 1161 students. Of these students, 24 were of African American descent (2.1%), 2 were American Indians (0.2%.) 851 were Asian/Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders (73.3%), 25 were classified as Hispanics (2.2%) and 259 (22.3% ) were counted as White students. In taking a look at these neighborhoods, based on demographic data from the 2000 U.S. Census, the McCully/Moiliili areas earned a median household income of more than $10,000 less than the medians for both the city of Honolulu and of the nation. The middle schools that feed into Kaimuki High School today, primarily Washington and Jarrett Middle Schools, from the McCully/Moiliili and Palolo areas, respectively are in a geographic zone that consist largely of low-income and/or immigrant families. Students families live in lower-level income apartment or condominium, houses, rental units, and free public housing. (McCully/Moiliili Demographics, 2000, n.p.). Many of these people are first and second generation immigrants from foreign countries whose first language is not English. In regards to ethnic diversity, Palolo Valley homes project consists of 424 units and 1,500 residents...Forty-eight percent are Laotian and Vietnamese immigrants; the rest Hawaiians, Samoans, some Tongans and Micronesians, and a few Filipinos (Enomoto, 1997). The ethnic diversity of the Palolo Valley Homes is exceedingly similar to the current ethnic representation at Kaimuki High School, a result of the increase in immigration to the state in recent decades. The foreign-born share of Hawaiis population rose from 14.7% in 1990, to 17.5% in 2000, to 18.2% in 2010, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The Hawaii State Assessment is a standards-based test that measures students mastery of specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Hawaii. In 2011, 64% of Kaimuki High School 10th graders met the standard for the Reading portion of the Hawaii State Assessment, 40% of 10th graders met the standard for Math, and 15% met the

standard for Science. (School Digger 2011.) Kaimuki also ranked at #250 out of 258 public schools in the state of Hawaii, according to Grading the Public Schools Chart 2008 in Honolulu Magazine which generates evaluations based upon standardized scores in reading and math as well as satisfaction scores from surveys taken by DOE teachers, parents and students (Bolante & Kobayashi, p. 4). The Kaimuki High School Library has one full-time Nationally Board Certified librarian and one full-time library assistant. There are 11,297 books, 51 electronic books and 138 non-books (i.e. videos, CDs, DVDs, educational software) in the library collection. The average age of the librarys fiction is 1993 and average age of the librarys non-fiction collection is 1987. The library has EBSCO and Encyclopedia Britannica electronic databases. 29 computers are available in the library for OPAC searching, Research, Learning Activities and Testing. (Completed Library Survey, Chun.) Public school library initiatives are derived from state recommendations, as well as the current Common Core Standards which are being implemented into the academic curriculum. The state has suggested that increased numbers of non-fiction resources be enforced in all subject areas. Rationale for the Collection Asian Pacific Islander students of Kaimuki High School, who have immigrated from Micronesia, Pohnpei, Kosrae, Yap, Marshall Islands, American and Western Samoa, Tonga, Guam, Saipan, Vietnam, Laos, have been undergoing an identity crisis as a result of their attempts to adopt a new national identity. Students at this stage in life are learning to identify themselves with what they believe in, and this is reflected in their behavior. In Palolo, many people associate the valley primarily with gang involvement and domestic violence (Watanabe, 2006). This has contributed to the poor reputation of Kaimuki High School, as students begin to believe the same of themselves and their community. As noted by several Kaimuki High School teachers, bullying, substance abuse, and other destructive adolescent issues affect student learning in the classroom. Both teachers and students have pointed out disappointment in the cutting of valuable subjects from the master schedule, including the Peer Education program and Hawaiian language, two programs that once provided a means by which students could learn about their culture and mediation in order to build their sense of identity. The right educational resources, supports, and understanding amongst staff and students will help students to preserve or reclaim their identity and self-esteem and also support the 10th grade social studies curriculum with a focus on Hawaiian history. A cultural sensitivity and understanding must be present in order to move past the stereotypes that have beleaguered their identities and sense of belonging. The Hawaiiana collection (prior to the Kashu grant funded resources) accounted for about 14% of the total collection; however, many of these items were outdated, the average age of these items being from 1978. (Completed Survey, Chun) This collection was also lacking increased Pacific Islander resources for people other than Hawaiian (i.e. Micronesia, Tonga, Samoa.) An understanding of cultural differences is key to students and staff embracing each student wholeheartedly. Improving cultural identity through engaging literacy

resources will build competence, resulting in more confidence (Ross, 2001-2005). Students will feel empowered to self-educate and advocate for themselves if their literacy skills are competent, as these skills are foundational in promoting many types of literacy required in America: health literacy, governmental literacy, educational literacy, social literacy, historical literacy, and financial literacy, to name a few. Such types of literacy will be acquired through the learning gained from reading engaging books that celebrate culture and specific people groups. The collection developer must equip all students with the confidence and tools necessary to maneuver through the American system so that they feel validated as responsible, confident, independent beings with a future to look eagerly forward. With the KASHU Foundation grant, the library was able to purchase a Native Hawaiian/Asian Pacific Island collection. This collection contained 45 non-fiction resources, and has been well received by Kaimuki High School students and staff. Asian Pacific Island and Native Hawaiian Collection Details It was clear after reviewing Kaimuki High Schools present collection, that there was a need for improvement in the Asian Pacific and Native Hawaiian collection at Kaimuki High School. Resources were outdated and lacked current information on the Pacific Islands in regards to social, political and economic, containing mostly general historical information. Because the user reading levels range from 3rd grade to post high school level, a variety of reading levels were included to ensure basic and advanced readers have resources that meet their abilities and assist a wide range of learners, particularly those students who have special needs or are English Lange Learners. The collection includes materials that meet the curriculum and instructional needs of the tenth grade Social Studies program, with a focus on Hawaiian Studies. The collection also represents the wide range of Pacific Island groups. Relevance to the standards for learning (Common Core, HCPS, and 21st century learning standards were taken into serious consideration throughout selection since the Common Core State Standards are in current use. The collection developer proposed a collection, which was expected to cost approximately $1,350.00, of which 85% was to be spent on non-fiction (history, culture, politics, etc.) books, with an additional 15% evenly spent on periodicals and audiovisual materials to enhance the content learning. The actual budget stayed within the means of the estimated collection budget. Estimated and Actual Budget To support the instructional and cultural needs of students and educators, the Kashu foundation provided Kaimuki High School Library with variety of resources which enhanced the curriculum and instruction in the classroom, supported the research needs of student projects, and helped build the diverse student bodys sense of identity. The following tables display the proposed budget and actual budgets for the Asian Pacific and Native Hawaiian Collection:

Summary In speaking with teachers of related content areas (i.e. Social Studies, English), the collection developer realized that providing students with supplemental readings that supported class content would be of more benefit than the audio-visual materials and periodicals. The collection developer therefore decided to order fewer audio-visual materials and no periodicals. Most of the Kashu grant funds went to purchasing nonfiction reading options in paperback, hardcover, and e-book formats. The educational resources funded by the Kahsu foundation have clearly supported the 10th grade social studies curriculum with a focus on Hawaiian history. The Native Hawaiian/Pacific Asian Island collection has been well received by the Kaimuki High School learning community, and many teachers have noted that students are actually bringing up topics during discussions that relate to their readings. We plan to continue collaborating with teachers in other areas of study to build on the development of applicable collection resources. Limitations to the collection are in increasing the number of resources to include a greater variety of cultures, i.e. Korean, Chinese, Laos. However, the 45 items collection limit and budget constraints was the issue here. All in all, in addition to supporting curriculum, there are pieces of evidence that students are beginning to reclaim their identity as individuals, beginning to understand and embrace their own cultural differences. In speaking to a number of students who are engaging in the new collection, the library media specialist and other teachers have heard students share positive comments about their and others ethnicity. Students are more open to talking about who they are in classes, and with counselors. This is just a hopeful beginning to helping students gain the confidence necessary to maneuver through the

American system to feel validated as responsible, confident, independent citizens with a bright future. We are deeply appreciative of the KASHU Foundations commitment to helping students succeed. Your generosity has helped provide our students with fresh and meaningful learning opportunities. The collection has given Kaimuki High school students greater opportunities for success, not only in academic coursework but also in their search of who they are, in order to be successful in a global society. With Kaimuki High Schools mission being "To inspire, challenge, and equip our school community to join together in a life-long journey of learning and service to our society," it is clear that the Kashu foundation has helped fulfill the aspiration of life-long learning for our students.
