Book excerpt: This study inquired into American Catholic schools' organizational structures and their relationship with school climate through use of the national data from Schools and Staffing Survey 2003-04 by the National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Department of Education. The study focused on the statistical assessment of Catholic school teachers' perceptions of climate within three organizational structures. Another aspect of the research was the principals' perception of climate within each of the organizational structures. Last, the study investigated whether teachers' and principals' perceptions of climate differed. A weighted one-way ANOVA was run to investigate whether the type of Catholic school could be distinguished by teachers' and principals' perception of climate. A two sample t test was conducted on each of the climate characteristics to determine whether the perceptions of the teachers and principals varied within each type of Catholic school. General descriptive information about each of the climate characteristics was also presented in response to the research questions. The results of both of the ANOVA analyses and each of the t test analyses varied between each of the climate characteristics: teacher job satisfaction, teacher absenteeism, teacher influence on curriculum decisions, teacher influence on professional development decisions, teacher influence on discipline decisions, teacher influence on budget decisions. Some of the climate variables revealed statistically significant differences between the three types of Catholic schools or between the teachers and principals, while others did not, warranting further discussion on each variable's effect on climate. This study provides support to previous literature on what affects climate in Catholic schools. It adds to the body of knowledge in the field of Catholic school structures and their relationship to school climate. The findings of this study provide quantitative evidence at a national level for educators, administrators, and policy makers in their efforts to enhance climate and improve Catholic school restructuring efforts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors examine a broad range of Catholic high schools to determine whether or not students are better educated in these schools than they are in public schools. They find that the Catholic schools do have an independent effect on achievement, especially in reducing disparities between disadvantaged and privileged students. The Catholic school of today, they show, is informed by a vision, similar to that of John Dewey, of the school as a community committed to democratic education and the common good of all students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A semiautobiographical coming-of-age story, framed by the harrowing 1975 Circeo massacre Edoardo Albinati’s The Catholic School, the winner of Italy’s most prestigious award, The Strega Prize, is a powerful investigation of the heart and soul of contemporary Italy. Three well-off young men—former students at Rome’s prestigious all-boys Catholic high school San Leone Magno—brutally tortured, raped, and murdered two young women in 1975. The event, which came to be known as the Circeo massacre, shocked and captivated the country, exposing the violence and dark underbelly of the upper middle class at a moment when the traditional structures of family and religion were seen as under threat. It is this environment, the halls of San Leone Magno in the late 1960s and the 1970s, that Edoardo Albinati takes as his subject. His experience at the school, reflections on his adolescence, and thoughts on the forces that produced contemporary Italy are painstakingly and thoughtfully rendered, producing a remarkable blend of memoir, coming-of-age novel, and true-crime story. Along with indelible portraits of his teachers and fellow classmates—the charming Arbus, the literature teacher Cosmos, and his only Fascist friend, Max—Albinati also gives us his nuanced reflections on the legacy of abuse, the Italian bourgeoisie, and the relationship between sex, violence, and masculinity.

Book excerpt: This overview examines the major research studies on Catholic schools published between 1965 and 1991 along with a synthesis of the research regarding the demography, outcomes, and environment of Catholic schools, and of the teachers, parents, and students associated with Catholic schools. The research showed that student from Catholic schools scored higher on virtually all outcome measures than did students from public schools, even when relevant demographic characteristics of the students were controlled. This document is organized into nine chapters. Chapter 1 is an introduction. Chapter 2 is a critical review of the major studies on Catholic schools. Chapter 3 describes the demography of Catholic schools. Chapter 4 presents a review of the research concerning three types of Catholic school outcomes: academics, religious, and values. Chapter 5 looks at the research on the environment of Catholic schools in five themes: the school as community; differences in the cultures of Catholic schools and public schools; the academic climate of Catholic schools; discipline and order; and the development of the faith community. Chapter 6 examines the research on Catholic school teachers. Chapter 7 describes the research on parental choice of Catholic schools. Chapter 8 presents the research on two themes concerning students: minority students in Catholic schools, and the comparison of single-sex with co-educational Catholic high schools. Finally, Chapter 9 summarizes the important findings from the research on Catholic schools; addresses the question of the relative effectiveness of Catholic and public schools; and identifies some directions for future research, including attention to methodology, the establishment of research priorities, and the continuing examination of important topics relating to Catholic schools. A lengthy list of references is included. (DB)

This book was released on 2020-11-13 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catholic education remains one of the most compelling expressions of the Church’s mission to form disciples. Despite decades of decline in the number of schools and students, many Catholic schools have been experiencing renewal by returning to the great legacy of the Catholic tradition. Renewing Catholic Schools offers an overview of the reasons behind this renewal and practical suggestions for administrators, clergy, teachers, and parents on how to begin the process of reinvigoration. The book begins by situating Catholic education within the Church’s mission. Fidelity to Catholic mission and identity, including a commitment to the fulness of truth, provides the fundamental mark for the true success of Catholic education. The Catholic intellectual tradition, in particular, established by figures such as Augustine, Boethius, and Aquinas, can continue to direct Catholic schools, providing a depth of vision to overcome today’s educational crisis. To transcend the now dominate secular model of education, Catholic schools can align their curriculum more closely to the Catholic tradition. One touchpoint comes from Archbishop Michael Miller’s The Holy See’s Teaching on Catholic Schools, which the book explores as a source for practical guidance. It also offers a Catholic vision for curriculum, examining the full range of subjects from gymnasium, the fine arts, the liberal arts, literature, history, and catechesis, all of which lead to a well-formed graduate, inspired by beauty, attune to truth, and ordered toward the good. Finally, the book provides a practical vision for renewing the school through the formation of teachers, creation of a school community, and by offering suggestions for implementation of a stronger Catholic mission and philosophy of education. The teacher, ultimately, should strive to teach like Jesus, while the community should joyfully embody the school’s mission, making it a lived reality. The book concludes with examples of Catholic schools that have successfully undergone renewal.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of Catholic middle schools examined the human, environmental, and cultural aspects of school climate; the development of professional community; the implementation of national middle school recommendations; and identified correlations between these variables. General school climate was conceptualized through Tagiuri's (1968) elements of climate, which have demonstrated an enduring quality within research literature. The work of Hoy and Sabo (1998) helped further conceptualize middle school climate. Professional community was conceptualized through the work of DuFour and Eaker (1998) and conceptualization of the components of professional community was based on the work of Bryk, Camburn, and Louis (1999). Middle school practices were conceptualized from the most recent national report on middle-level education (National Middle School Association, 2010). Data for this study came from the survey responses of principals and teachers in Catholic schools in the state of Wisconsin that educate early adolescents. The final sample included 73 schools, representative of all five (arch)dioceses. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, multiple regression, and stepwise regression. The results of these analyses indicate that the norms of professional community were further developed than professional community practices. The major finding of this study is that principal leadership and total school size were predictors of the overall measure of professional community. Further analysis revealed that principal leadership, particularly supportive leadership, is a consistent and significant predictor of all six subscale measures of professional community. This study found no correlations between climate factors and the implementation of nationally recommended middle school practices. This study provides a comprehensive look at teachers, environments, and culture in Catholic schools serving early adolescents. It also measures the development of professional community and the implementation of middle school recommendations in these schools. Finally, this study helps leaders of Catholic education better understand the importance of supportive principal leadership in the promotion of higher levels of professional community. This finding gives important insight to diocesan superintendents, pastoral leaders, and school principals in fostering Catholic school improvement.

Book excerpt: Improve student outcomes with collective teacher efficacy. If educators’ realities are filtered through the belief that they can do very little to influence student achievement, then it is likely these beliefs will manifest in their practice. The solution? Collective efficacy (CE)—the belief that, through collective actions, educators can influence student outcomes and increase achievement. Educators with high efficacy show greater effort and persistence, willingness to try new teaching approaches, and attend more closely to struggling students’ needs. This book presents practical strategies and tools for increasing student achievement by sharing: Rationale and sources for establishing CE Conditions and leadership practices for CE to flourish Professional learning structures/protocols
