The Emmaus Series

The Emmaus Series Overview and Application
Rigor ◆ Extended Support ◆ Applied Expertise ◆ Faithful Companionship


The Cohort

Cohort 2017 will consist of 30 Catholic school leaders from around the country who bring a wide variety of experiences, strengths, and needs. Cohort members will be selected based on the particular gifts they are willing to share, challenges for which they seek direction, and readiness for genuine collaboration among peers.

Fee
The fee to participate in the entire series is $1,500. The cost to the Barbara and Patrick Roche Center for Catholic Education is $3,200. Because of our strong commitment to Catholic school leadership, the Roche Center subsidizes $1,700 of your participation. Financial assistance with your fee, as well as support with accessing federal Title II funds or other local funding sources, is available. ​
 
Program Participation
The Emmaus Series, designed for 30 Catholic school principals and heads of school, journey together as companions, to make meaningful change in their schools. Because the school leaders themselves define the experience of the Emmaus Series, all participants are required to attend the 2 overnight retreats, and participate in 8 one-day workshops and 1-hr bi-monthly webinars over the 20 months.


Participants living outside New England are expected to attend the 2 overnight retreats and the final workshop with commencement event in person and may opt to participate in the workshops remotely via live stream.

The Series

Emmaus Series Foundational Retreat
July 17-20, 2017
3 days, 2 nights at Connors Family Retreat and Conference Center, Dover, Massachusetts. 
This kick-off event marks the beginning of participants’ leadership transformation. School leaders are introduced to core components of the program and gain essential insights into prioritizing the demands of effective school leadership. Rigorous, thought-provoking workshops, reflection, liturgies, and recreation will initiate a new and refined direction in management practices, systems thinking, academic programing and spiritual leadership. The retreat lays the foundation on which the program will continue to build.  
 
Workshops: Preliminary topics and timeframes
Each school leader will select 3 people from his/her school community to serve as members of a leadership team. Team members will join the school leader for each workshop to collaborate and assist in evaluating and introducing change ideas. (Fee for 3 team members to participate in workshops is included in program fee.)
