Ignatian Pedagogy and Library Instruction
Wisconsin Association of Academic Librarians Conference

Abstract
Based on five elements - context, experience, reflection, action, and evaluation, the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm (IPP) embodies best practices in teaching and has been at the root of Jesuit education for over 5 centuries. Much has been written on how faculty can incorporate the IPP into semester long instruction, but little has been written on how librarians can incorporate IPP into library instruction. To address this need and create awareness about IPP in the library community, a 3 week online course was developed to foster a community of practice on this topic and offer a place where instruction librarians could develop practical ways the IPP can be added to their instruction toolbox. Come learn about this course, results from a recent pilot and sign-up for the next offering. You won't experience a spiritual conversion, but you may experience a pedagological one.
