IGNITE
LEARNING BY REFRACTION GOES TO THE WEST COAST
From March 6 to 8, 2024, 38 educators from 13 schools gathered at the Archbishop Brunett Retreat Center at the Palisades for the Jesuits West Province Colloquium. This year’s colloquium—organized as always by Tim Caslin and Mike Chambers, Provincial Assistant and Associate Provincial Assistant for Secondary and Pre-Secondary Education, respectively—focused on Ignatian Pedagogy, specifically, the Learning by Refraction approach.
Fr. Johnny Go SJ, author of the book of the same title, flew in from Manila to introduce the participants to this contemporary and practical approach and to guide them in thinking and talking about concrete ways of implementing the IPP.
Fr. Go offered “conversation pieces” to provoke thinking and talking about Ignitian Pedagogy.
