In Educating with Aloha: Reflections from the Heart on Teaching and Learning―her second book drawing upon the wisdom of 45 years as an educator―Jan Iwase offers fresh insights into creating caring school communities. Packed with succinct advice and thought-provoking anecdotes, Educating with Aloha is Iwase's follow-up to Leading with Aloha: From the Pineapple Fields to the Principal's Office, her 2019 book that laid the groundwork for filling schools and classrooms with happy students, empowered teachers and involved parents. A longtime Hawaii public school teacher and principal, she envisions a system of learning in which teachers and students alike develop a passion for education. For Iwase, "Educating with Aloha" is more than a catchphrase; it embodies her career-long method of cultivating the best in adults and children through respectful interaction and cooperative effort.
A one-time district elementary principal of the year, Iwase rose through the ranks of Hawaii's educational system, beginning in the Head Start program and ending her teaching years as principal of Daniel K. Inouye Elementary School. "After Leading with Aloha, I was often asked when I would write a second book," Iwase recalls. "Frankly, I had not given it any thought, but when COVID-19 hit, I found myself with the time to think and reflect. As a retired educator, one of my major concerns was how this pandemic would impact our students, teachers, school leaders, and schools in general. This is the perfect time to discuss how to make schools more relevant in the 21st century."
In Iwase's opinion, if we truly agree that our children deserve a public education system that will prepare them to be the leaders of tomorrow, then we must prioritize schools and answer fundamental questions about how we teach: How can we create a school system that addresses the needs of different kinds of learners, especially those who do not learn in the traditional way? Do we want students to memorize facts and procedures so they can pass a test, or do we want their curiosity and passions to drive what and how they learn and apply new information? How do we address the inequality and inequity in public education in the U.S. that is a reflection of our society? As a reader's guide, each chapter in Educating with Aloha closes with a set of questions designed to prompt further reflection and discussion regarding the reader’s school community ―helping create a personal blueprint for a clearer educational path forward.
