What an amazing weekend filled with inspiring educators at E3 Washington's Growing Together Conference hosted at the beautiful Cispus Learning Center Inc. I was honored to collaborate and present with Sheila Wilson and Elizabeth Schmitz on redesigning outdoor education programs for inclusion of students with disabilities, and am excited for the new guidance coming from OSPI. Being in a room of leaders invested in making change is an inspirational experience, and I am so grateful to be a part of WILD WHATCOM where Inclusion and Belonging in the outdoors is at the core of our work.

E3 WA is pleased to announce our featured speaker for Saturday night of the Growing Together Conference, Sui-Lan Ho‘okano. Sui-Lan Ho?okano Current Journey is with PESB as the Program Manager for Curriculum Transformation and Tribal Liaison. Sui-Lan’s roots are from Moku o Keawe, (Island of Hawaii). Mother of five, Grandmother of five, and a large Ohana (family). Alumnus of the University of Hawaii, Sui-Lan is a multidisciplinary educator, facilitator, narrative strategist. Lecturer at UW Tacoma, Seattle, and Western Washington MED, AIS, and Anth programs, her research and consulting work focuses on community environmental asset-based storytelling, racial equity, narrative change, healing, culturally responsive leadership, and organizational development. Recently featured in the 2024 Aurora Institute Competency Blog “Voices of Indigenous Educators Series”, leading Indigenous Climate Science Learning professional series CLIMETIME since 2021, Co-author Third-Space Exploration in Education, and featured example in the Washington State Board of Education 2020 Mastery-Based Credits and Learning Policy Senate Bill 5249: valuing place based experiential learning experiences through Indigenous epistemology, and culturally responsive indigenous practices (CRISP). Sui-Lan shares her experiences and states “it is not enough to be conscious of the problems of the world, how we involve ourselves in the solutions is the most important thing that we could ever do in our journey”. When we begin to move towards these restorative practices, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities benefit. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to hear from Sui-Lan and for her to share her experiences with us. You won’t want to miss this!
