One ’sentence’ version of the SunWALK model:

The SunWALK model of spiritualizing (or humanizing) pedagogy sees human education as;

the storied development of meaning,
which is constructed, and de-constructed,
physically mentally and spiritually,
through Wise & Willing Action,
via Loving and Knowing –
developed in Community,
through the ‘Dialectical Spiritualization’ of
Caring, Creativity & Criticality processes,
all undertaken in the light of the ‘Sun’ of
chosen higher-order values and beliefs,
using best available, appropriate content.

The 6 sections of the PhD thesis are in the column on the right of this page.
