Join us for a special session featuring Justin Lai,  the Educational Technologist at La Pietra - Hawaii School for Girls. With a background in mechanical engineering & design, he combines creativity with emerging technologies (such as generative artificial intelligence) to cultivate hands-on learning experiences that bridge traditional analog prototyping with cutting-edge technology implementation.

The 2025/2026 Elevating Teacher Voice discussion series is hosted by longtime educator Jan Iwase. Each session follows a simple and meaningful format: a guest educator (or educators) reads aloud their own writing, then opens the floor for reflection and conversation. No pre-work. No homework. Just deep listening, dialogue, and connection. Now in its third year, Elevating Teacher Voice has inspired hundreds of educators to reimagine teaching and learning, explore answers to the question What could school be?, and build authentic relationships with fellow educators and education leaders who write.
