Unfinished Houses | America Magazine. Why can’t we finish this house? I hear this question every summer from teenagers and young adults who have come with me to the Dominican Republic, eager to make a difference in the lives of the poor. To be fair, some of them are merely reframing the question that friends and family have asked them: How many houses will you build on your service trip? They ask with good intentions, no doubt, but with some naïveté and some cultural paternalism as well. (Just what kind of a house would one expect to build in two weeks?) When the students realize they will not see the completed fruit of their labors right then and there, they often feel disappointed and even worry the community will resent them for having “failed” this service project.
After discussing the sheer physical impossibility of building a house, even a humble one, in a week or two, we sometimes find other questions underlying the disappointment: Why can’t I see a finished product? I had to change my perspective. A Continuing Call. 40ishoracle : Two #Jesuits meet on a football... For Jesuit students, journey to see Pope Francis is lesson in faith, sacrifice. (Tampa Bay Times) At night they lie on camping mattresses and sleeping bags on the hard floor of an elementary school classroom. They rise early, shunning the familiar golden arches of McDonald’s, choosing instead to eat locally bought fruit and bread.
They exchange few words with the locals; many Brazilians know English only as a third language. What they can’t share with words, they share in an intangible sense of camaraderie. Michael Miller of Tampa felt it Tuesday night, when he stood with his back toward the crashing waves on Copacabana’s beach in Rio de Janeiro, alongside more than 400,000 of his fellow young Catholics, who had gathered for opening Mass at World Youth Day. “We learn how to live our lives selflessly,” said Miller, one of eight Jesuit High School alums on the trip. This year, the international event is significant for a number of reasons. The trip began in Sao Paulo, where the group landed and met with other World Youth Day pilgrims from around the world. Seminars in Ignatian Leadership | JSEA. JSEA Seminars in Ignatian Leadership is a unique program to develop leaders for the Jesuit high school of the future. The program consists of a three-year cycle with two seminar sessions per year that explores the best of leadership theory and practice from the dynamic world view of Ignatian spirituality, with specific application to the apostolate of Jesuit secondary education.
The program is open to people working in the apostolate of Jesuit secondary education who desire to enhance their roles in the ministry of teaching through outstanding leadership and service as Ignatian educators, whether in the capacity of faculty members, department chairs, program directors or high school administrators. Their participation requires the nomination and recommendation from their president or principal. The overall program has been designed with adult learning theory specifically in mind. Each of the three Seminars develops in detail a different but related theme of Ignatian leadership.

Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm. The Ignatian pedagogical paradigm is a way of learning and a method of teaching taken from the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola.[1][2] It is based in St. Ignatius Loyola's Spiritual Exercises, and takes a holistic view of the world.[3] The three main elements are Experience, Reflection, and Action. A pre-learning element, Context, and a post-learning element, Evaluation, are also necessary for the method's success, bringing the total to five elements.
Ignatian pedagogy uses this dynamic five-step method along with an Ignatian vision of the human and the world to "accompany the learner in their growth and development. "[4] The Ignatian pedagogical paradigm is also used in spiritual retreats and learning experiences as an active means of developing and questioning one's own conscience, as well as in making sound and conscientious decisions. History of the Ignatian pedagogical paradigm[edit] The Ignatian pedagogical paradigm[edit] Context[edit] Prior learning is part of the context.
