Professional Learning in ʻŌiwi Edge for E Ola!
Nurturing
Professional Growth
Kaʻaikuahiwi—"mountain food"—nourishes the professional journey of our K-12 kumu through the Nāwaiao Educator Growth and Impact System. Educators deepen their practice through flexible, job-embedded learning experiences that strengthen ʻŌiwi Edge for E Ola! with their haumāna.
He Lani Ke Keiki.
The Child is a Chief.
At the heart of our mission lies a profound truth: every child embodies the potential for leadership. Just as Naeʻole and Kekūhaupiʻo recognized young Kamehameha's inherent leadership, we see this same potential in each of our haumāna today.
The term "lani" speaks to leaders who carry the weight of lineage and responsibility to their lāhui. Through ʻŌiwi Edge learning and teaching, our signature pedagogy for E Ola!, we prepare our students to embrace this kuleana, equipped with ancestral wisdom, mana, and the courage to guide their communities forward.
This vision drives our commitment to continuous professional growth—because empowering future lāhui leaders requires educators who are themselves committed to learning and evolution.
