This article argues that Ignatian pedagogy in the Jesuit tradition allows great literature to become transformative. It takes a case study of a course named 'Becoming a Hero: From Homer to Harry Potter' taught in a London Jesuit comprehensive school to explore the benefits of this pedagogy for personal growth and holistic learning.
This article argues that Ignatian pedagogy in the Jesuit tradition allows great literature to become transformative. It takes as a case study an extracurricular course - 'Becoming a Hero: From Homer to Harry Potter' - taught to a socially diverse group of key stage three 'gifted and talented' children in a London Jesuit comprehensive school. While secondary teaching is normally geared towards high-stakes summative assessment, this course aims instead at personal growth. Young people discover themselves as the heroes in a perennial plotline which appears throughout both classic texts and young adult fiction. The teacher (himself a Jesuit) had previously taught the course to undergraduates at Harvard University. Adapting it for younger children, he makes the case for 'gifted and talented' provision and narrates his use of assessment for prior learning and creative teaching techniques in order to ensure holistic - spiritual, intellectual, and emotional - learning beyond the curriculum.
