Ignatian Pedagogy: The Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm

"The Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm is a practical teaching framework which is consistent with and effective in communicating the Ignatian values and world view. Faculty, regardless of discipline, can utilize this approach so that their teaching is academically sound and at the same time formative of persons for others." ~ "Ignatian Pedagogy: A Practical Approach" by Sharon J. Korth
