Abstract
Who we are, where we came from, where we are going, and why are important questions for us as educators to keep in focus as we teach. Doing so involves ongoing critical awareness, action, assessment, and compassion. In this workshop which adopts a peace perspective, we consider aims and aim achievement through a hybrid comprehensive peace framework and use compassionate communication as a model to guide reflection on and for action in the classroom.
