E Ola! is KS' Curricular Framework, or set of learner outcomes grounded in kuana ʻike Hawaiʻi (Native Hawaiian perspectives), and our enterprise-wide identity. To help employees understand E Ola! and how we should be applying it in our daily work, the Legal/HR group planned Lunch & Learn sessions to "unpack", or dig into, the outcomes which are the Learners' Strong Foundation. Today we talked about kūpono, which in the context of E Ola! is defined as "honorable character founded on Hawaiian and Christian values". Employees and haumāna (students) are encouraged to uphold kūpono through actions such as extending aloha to others, taking responsibility for their actions, caring for others and themselves, and making ethical decisions. We shared examples of how we practice (either regularly or recently) kūpono by cooking for our ʻohana, bringing a meal to an elderly neighbor, having compassion for others, or simply by being kind to a stranger. The "Law of the Splintered Paddle" is a famous story about Kamehameha ʻEkahi which can be related to the principle of kūpono.
