Abstract
After working on the “Hawaiian Cultural Influences in Education” (HCIE) project in the Research & Evaluation division at Kamehameha Schools, the author transitioned to work in a faith-based non-profit in higher education. HCIE found that higher uses of culture-based education were connected to positive outcomes for K-12 students in self-concept, achievement, school engagement, and more. Through applying principles of culture-based education to a faith-based spring break program for college students, the researcher found similar positive outcomes through examining change through empirical data in pre- and post-surveys.
