N Keiki Survey
While we have an understanding of the challenges that Native Hawaiian learners face, there are
few, if any, tools that exist that measure student strengths, including their values and culture. The
development of these surveys aims to balance the deficits model by identifying the existing
strengths of Native Hawaiian students, families, schools, and communities. Identifying these
unique characteristics can empower school communities by giving them the tools needed to build
upon the existing assets of their Native Hawaiian students through culturally relevant educational
initiatives for youth development.
Although mainstream tools, like the surveys developed by Search Institute, have been shown to
work with minority populations (Scales, Benson, & Leffert, 2000; Tibbetts et al. 2007), they tend to
represent a limited perspective on well-being. N pio, a survey for adolescents in grades 7-12,
was field tested in 2009 and has since been administered annually in select public schools and
Kamehameha Schools programs. N Keiki, a survey for children in grades 4-6, has been
administered since 2012. Both surveys were developed in collaboration with a research advisory
group and each is comprised of age-appropriate, internal and external student assets that research
suggests contribute to success in school and life.

percentages, thus some percentages may be based on less than the total number of students. 2) Schools with a smaller
sample size may show greater percentage differences between years.
