When Am I Ever Going to Use This?

February 14, 2019By
This question has probably been around as long as there have been students in schools. It may surprise you to learn that recently, many parents and teachers are asking themselves the same question.

Above All Else: Humility

November 5, 2018By
As I mentioned during my talk, Recasting the Drama of Catholic Education in the Spring, the term “education” has a much deeper meaning than is often intended in its contemporary usage.  When we hear the word “education” we often envision a process by which students acquire knowledge.  What is intended in the education that we provide at SJI...

Liberating the Liberal Arts

May 18, 2018By
Perhaps my favorite scene in children’s literature comes from The Silver Chair, to my mind the greatest of C.S.
