About Me

Jan Iwase
I was an educator for 45 years until I retired in 2018. At that time, I began writing a book which was published in 2019 titled, "Leading with Aloha: From the Pineapple Fields to the Principal's Office." My second book, “Educating with Aloha: Reflections from the Heart on Teaching and Learning” was published in 2021. Please visit my web page at www.janiwase.com.
