Abstract: At the University of Hawai'i at Manoa (UH Manoa), the journey toward Culturally responsive and Equity-minded Assessment (CEA) has been grounded in a guiding belief: that lasting change is driven by both structural supports and leaders of change. CEA practice requires faculty and staff to be very thoughtful, intentional, and critical in the assessment process. The model for developing CEA stars is holistic, nurturing four interconnected elements: (1) The mind: knowledge and skills in assessment and in facilitation; (2) The hands: practical tools and applied support for implementation; (3) The heart: connection and well-being; and (4) The spirit: professional identity and purpose. In this article, the author shares how UH Manoa has attended to these dimensions to build CEA momentum across campus.
