Shalom, Diversity, and Inclusive Learning Environments

Abstract

This chapter will focus on the “who are teachers” element of the Pedagogy of Shalom model. The author believes that in order for educational and organizational transformation to take place, the dispositions and competencies of educators must be revealed and analyzed. Shalom, Diversity, and Inclusive Learning Environments will present tools that will assist Christian educators in the process of personal and professional reflection that will reveal their own values, beliefs, and assumptions that impact how inclusive learning environments are both created and nurtured and truly at the “heart” of being a spirit filled educator.
