Description
Summary:This paper expands the response to Pope Francis’ invitation to dialogue on how educators can help shape the future of the planet by focusing on integral human development. This paper expands on the thinking of Warner, Wyttenbach, and McMahon [2023. “Pope Francis’ Vision and Whole Child Education: Exploring the Foundational Beliefs of Cura Personalis and Accompaniment.” The Review of Faith & International Affairs 21 (1): 15–27. https://doi.org/10.1080/15570274.2023.2177453], who offered a theological examination of two primary beliefs of whole child education—accompaniment and cura personalis. Adding to the theological foundations of whole child education, in this paper we offer further discussion on three additional beliefs of whole child education—Imago Dei (we are all made in the image and likeness of God), magis (striving for more, and seeing God in all things), and Dios en todo (God in all things). These two papers advance Pope Francis’ vision for integral human development and a framework for whole child education that practitioners and scholars can attend to in their practice and research.
