Professional Development

Led by Roche Center team members and in collaboration with leading experts and researchers at Boston College and around the world, the Roche Center offers innovative professional learning and development opportunities throughout the year to support Catholic school educators in holistic development and formation. Within a supportive communal context, participants are invited to reflect not only on pedagogy, but on the personal and spiritual understanding of teaching and formation as a Christian vocation.

Two-Way Immersion Network for Catholic Schools

TWIN-CS is a national initiative to share dual language research, ideas, techniques and resources with the goal of supporting students in becoming bilingual, bicultural, and biliterate. The network's innovative design and programming enables students to maintain their language and culture, while systemically transforming schools from monolingual to dual language education.

Research

The Roche Center's research team designs, administers, analyzes, and presents studies on the top issues facing Catholic education today. We also provide resources to teachers on several topics, including social justice and strategic planning.

“The Roche Center is a beautiful example of what Jesus calls us to do, which is to live our faith and transform our lives as we get closer to loving others as Jesus loves us. This is the groundwork that allows us to become fully human to each other.”
