Watch this short guide to learn how to navigate the Pathways page and explore your learning options.
Pathway 1
Foundations of ʻŌiwi Edge
This pathway immerses educators in the core philosophies and practices of ʻŌiwi Edge, guiding you from the vision of Kuapapa Nui leadership to the design of learner-centered, culturally responsive pedagogy informed by indigenous and ally scholarship and innovation methods. Along the way, you’ll deepen your understanding of Haumāna-Centered Learning, explore the ʻŌiwi Edge Innovation Process, and learn to articulate and enact ʻŌiwi Edge Pedagogy for the vision of lāhui empowerment.
Completion requires you to take all five courses in order, submit a hōʻike (submission) for each course,
and participate in a coaching conversation to reflect on and integrate your learning.
Pathway 2
Applications of ʻŌiwi Edge
This pathway empowers educators to put ʻŌiwi Edge principles into action—deepening haumāna-centered learning, implementing equitable assessments, engaging in ʻAe Kai–informed inquiry, integrating moʻolelo as curriculum, and leveraging technology for culturally responsive pedagogy. You’ll gain concrete strategies and tools to foster agency, equity, and innovation in your classroom.
Completion requires you to choose any three courses in any order, submit a hōʻike for each, participate in a coaching conversation, and sign up for the culminating Huakaʻi Holo capstone course during the summer.

Pathway 3
ʻAha Kumu | Teacher Leadership
The ʻAha Kumu serves as a strategic advisory body, guiding the design and continual refinement of Kaʻaikuahiwi professional learning offerings and contributing to the broader Nāwaiao educator growth system. Drawing on ʻŌiwi Edge for E Ola! principles, task force members research ʻAe Kai–to–Kahiki sources, surface user needs, and prototype innovative solutions to enhance the platform’s structure, features, and learner impact. In doing so, they co-create clear leadership indicators and pathways for kumu development, and evolve strategies for growing, retaining, and rewarding teachers. Through this work, ʻAha Kumu members simultaneously build their own leadership capacity to influence their schools and communities.
Completion requires you to take all five courses in sequence and actively collaborate
with your task force colleagues on shared deliverables.
Course enrollment is limited to 'Aha Kumu task force participants.
