Our Mo‘olelo of Innovation“As a kula it is our shared kuleana to advance learning for haumāna in anenvironment that is experiencing rapidly accelerating change from Hawai‘i Islandcommunities to distant global nations. We are inspired by our kupuna and theirtradition of innovation and are blessed today with hoa kumu and ‘ohana who arecommitted to innovation in learning that points to bright futures for our haumāna.Our greatest opportunity as a kula is to accelerate change from within to createnew energy and capacity for sustained success.”M. KĀHEALANI NAE‘OLE WONG, PO‘O KULA, KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS HAWAI‘IWhile innovation is not new at Kamehameha SchoolsHawai‘i, our challenge today is to prepare haumāna forsuccess in the unknown world of tomorrow. How dowe equip and empower our learners to actively shapewhat lies ahead? Our answer is ‘Ōiwi Edge.‘Ōiwi Edge is a mindset that is imbued with a sourceof mana and inspiration for our haumāna, kumu, and‘ohana, encouraging them to be trailblazers, fueledby vision and courage. ‘Ōiwi Edge is a perspectivefor dealing with challenges in a culturally-grounded,resilient, adaptive way, bridging modern andtraditional viewpoints. ‘Ōiwi Edge learners andleaders gain great strength from their identity as‘ōiwi Hawai‘i and discover and ignite their uniquepassions as a means to fully engage their kuleanain ways that serve and uplift their ‘ohana, lāhui andworld. Inspired by Hawai‘i Island’s unique landscape,its people, and Ke Ali‘i Pauahi’s heritage here on thismokupuni, ‘Ōiwi Edge is a defining element of ourcampus identity. It serves as a foundation for growth,evolution, perseverance, and innovation as our kulamoves toward a new teaching and learning paradigm.As Kamehameha Schools Hawai‘i continues toraise the bar of academic and cultural success forour haumāna, we are developing new capacities forstrategic and sustainable change to best preparelearners to thrive in an ever-evolving world. Ourkula has embedded a school-wide Research andDevelopment (R&D) engine to harness the speed,agility, and focus that comes from the changeenvironment we see in our school and use it to fuelnew innovations to launch important, compellinglearning environments in which our haumānawill thrive.Hālau Kupukupu contributes to this shared work as adedicated space for R&D in ‘Ōiwi Edge teaching andlearning. Our summer Innovations Academy servesas a laboratory space where kumu, haumāna, and‘ohana contribute to new, evidence-based instructionalprototypes that address challenges in 21st centuryliving. Data and insights gathered from thiscollaborative effort will feed into accelerated levelsof learning for our program, campus, and variousstakeholder communities.
