Benefits for Schools

In an era of shifting teacher demographics, the Lalanne Program at the University of Dayton offers Catholic schools a sustainable solution for recruiting and retaining high-quality, mission-driven educators.

By partnering with the UD School of Education and Health Sciences, we bridge the gap between rigorous academic preparation and the practical needs of under-resourced schools. Our program provides your school with energetic, committed teachers who are not only pursuing a Master’s degree but are also deeply invested in the Marianist charism of community and service.

We understand that a school’s greatest asset is its faculty. Through this partnership, administrators gain access to a pipeline of "teacher-leaders" who receive continuous professional development and spiritual accompaniment. By hosting a Lalanne teacher, your school becomes a site of transformation, benefiting from the latest pedagogical strategies emerging from UD’s School of Education and Health Sciences while fostering a vibrant, faith-filled environment for your students.

Our Collaborative Model

• Professional Coaching: Lalanne teachers receive regular observations and feedback, ensuring they meet the high standards of your institution.
• Mission Alignment: Our educators are formed in the Marianist tradition, emphasizing the "Education of the Whole Person" and "Family Spirit".
