| Abstract | While much of the public conversations surrounding K-12 education in Hawaii are focused on the challenges that traditional public schools are facing, Hawaiian-focused charter schools are no different in that they face the same issues and often have an even more difficult time marshaling the resources necessary to realize the dreams of their founders. With the current economic uncertainties and the significant number of Hawaiian focused charter schools struggling to meet the demands outlined in No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), the efficient use of limited resources to drive instruction and produce results is more important than ever. In these small schools, financial concerns such as declining enrollment and outdated infrastructure combine with instructional issues such as professional development and teacher recruitment and retention may stymie the innovation that is inherently expected of charter schools in general. As a result, this study seeks to better understand the unique challenges that face Hawaiian-focused charter schools, specifically studying their resource allocation and how it links to their instructional strategies and performance by examining three start-up schools in Hawaii. The study uses both the Evidence-Based Model (EBM) detailed by Odden and Picus (2008) and Odden's (2009) Ten Strategies for Doubling Student Performance as organizational frameworks in the analysis of each schools's resource use and implementation of instructional strategies. The results of the study support the efficient allocation of resources and implementation of research-based instructional strategies outlined in the EBM and Odden's work. |
