About Today’s Show
Today’s podcast features Tia Gaines, director for Educational Strategies for UnifiEd, A Center for Hope and Unity. Tia talks with Lynn Swaner about the Flourishing Schools construct of Insular Culture, where “the school shields students from the world’s brokenness, the school is independent from the surrounding community, and/or the student body lacks diversity.” The conversation focuses on creating communities of belonging for students within Christian schools.

- The UnifiEd Digest
- ACSI’s PD by Design series, Cultivating Biblical Unity, featuring UnifiEd
- Blog post Taking a Selah Moment: Black History Month and Christian Schools by Tia Gaines
