Lasallian Pedagogy Fellows (2026-2028)
Christian Brothers Conference is launching a Lasallian Pedagogy Fellows program that will begin in September 2026. This program will invite Lasallians into deepening their knowledge of Lasallian Pedagogy while engaging in three in-person sessions and 10 virtual sessions over 18 months. The inaugural cohort will accompany one another on a journey as fellow learners by exploring where we come from as Lasallian educators while prayerfully considering how and why Lasallian educators continue to be relevant in meeting the needs of young people today. In community, participants will discern how their personal vocation aligns with the underlying and overarching principles and historical impact of the Lasallian educational mission. Together they will enhance and sustain our understanding of contemporary Lasallian pedagogy.
