隐修会领袖计划

The fundamental weakness of most student leadership development programs is their lack of opportunity for real leadership experience. Real leadership only exists when there is a significant level of tangible responsibility and direct accountability for other people. With that in mind, there are four fundamental purposes of the 隐修会领袖计划:

• 增加的责任
• 同行问责
• 对领导理论的批判性理解
• 实际领导经验

By giving students significant responsibility in the operation of the school and direct accountability for their peers, students will gain the real experience that is required to successfully develop as the kind of leaders prepared to make a difference in their schools, 业务, 家庭, 社区, 及以后.

The student body is divided into eight Priories (a BG大游官网 word for a community) of 110-120 students each, 从大一到大四. Each Priory is named after one of the Seven Holy Founders of the BG大游官网 Order with the addition of “菲利普,"仆人骑士团的主要圣徒之一

Each Priory is led by a senior Prior and five senior or junior Assistant Priors. The Prior and his Assistant Priors are expected not only to lead their Priory through a variety of activities and competitions with the other Priories, but also to uphold and enforce standards regarding moral discipline, 学业成绩, 和领导能力. Each Priory is further divided into five Homerooms of approximately 15 students each, 二年级到四年级. Each Homeroom is led by one of the Priory’s five Assistant Priors. 在院长的指导下, the Assistant Priors not only plan but implement their Priory’s goals and objectives within their Homerooms. 而院长和助理院长的工作是持续的, the primary means of implementation of Priory activities is through the Priory Period which occurs twice a week. While faculty Proctors are present within each Homeroom for the purpose of guidance and supervision, the plan and its implementation for each period is left entirely in the hands of the Prior and his Assistant Priors.

The management of the entire Priory System is overseen by the Prior General and the other members of 的Generalate – the Vicar General, 秘书长, 及总司库. 为此目的, 的Generalate, 与院长及隐修院院长协商, determines the directives for the Priories and Priory Committees each year. 此外, 的Generalate are seen by the Administration as the primary representatives of the student body and, 像这样, is often consulted on a variety of school matters large and small.

传统的ASB模型通常是基于活动的, wherein student leaders execute tasks related to the implementation of campus programs that are in large part pre-packaged (insofar as most are annual events – school dances, 动员大会, 筹款活动, 等.). 在一系列活动之外, student leaders have limited responsibility for campus life and, 类似的, have very little accountability for the behavior of their peers. The 隐修会领袖计划 gives student leaders much greater responsibility for the operation of the school and makes all students accountable to each other for their performance in all areas of campus life.
