Based on the teachings of Jesus and a biblical foundation, this book presents a new framework for education and teaching, referred to as the shalom education model, that addresses four essential questions in education (why teach, what to teach, how to teach and who are teachers?). After explaining the theoretical background of shalom, the book investigates a range of contemporary educational issues including gender identity, bullying, disability, linguistic and cultural diversity, and social justice, and presents practical guidelines that can be applied to classroom teaching. The book also emphasizes the role of teachers as missional leaders who help students unlock their full potential.

In this book, I created a comprehensive diffusion of innovation model, called the Participative Diffusion of Innovation Model, based on a case study of a higher education institution who initiated a campus-wide information technology project for a couple of years. The first task in the Participative Diffusion of Innovation Model is conducting a concerns analysis of the adoption units. Also, I proposed a framework, the concerns matrix, to analyze the concerns of the adoption units. The concerns matrix gives systemic perspectives, which incorporate personal as well as organizational level concerns. The ultimate goal of this study is to develop a model to guide facilitation of implementation of an innovation in a higher education setting. I hope the result of this study gives some insights into conducting effective diffusion of innovation projects in higher education settings.
