Synopsis

This book helps non-Pacific educators inform their work with Pacific learners and their families.  

There are differences in understandings of the values important to many Pacific people between Pacific and non-Pacific heritage educators.  Pacific values of Belonging, Family, Love, Service, Spirituality, Reciprocal Relationships, Respect, Leadership, and Inclusion are discussed and explained. Each value is articulated using words from experienced Pacific educators, gathered through an extensive study across early childhood education contexts, primary and secondary schools, and tertiary learning environments. 

The focus is on the meanings of the values for Pacific people and how the values can be demonstrated and nurtured in teaching and educational settings.
