Rooting our work in ancestral foundations is a key component of 'Ōiwi Edge and a standard of the E Ola! learning outcomes. In order to be objective and responsible in our approach to 'Ōiwi Edge Learning & Teaching an effort was made to identify and develop the necessary mindsets needed for us to arrive at the depth and potential of 'Ōiwi Edge learning, while unifying all learners as we move forward. These kuana'ike mindsets will also help us qualify assessments beyond standardized measurement.
