Book Synopsis Catholic School Leadership by : Anthony J. Dosen
Download or read book Catholic School Leadership written by Anthony J. Dosen and published by IAP. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The administration of Pre K – 12 Catholic schools becomes more challenging each year. Catholic school leaders not only have the daunting task of leading a successful learning organization, but also to serve as the school community’s spiritual leader and the vigilant steward who keeps the budget balanced, the building clean, and maintaining a healthy enrollment in the school. Each of these tasks can be a full time job, yet the Catholic school principal takes on these tasks day after day, year after year, so that teachers may teach as Jesus did. The goal of this book is to provide both beginning and seasoned Catholic school leaders with some insights that might help them to meet these challenges with a sense of confidence. The words in this text provide research?based approaches for dealing with issues of practice, especially those tasks that are not ordinarily taught in educational leadership programs. This text helps to make sense of the pastoral side of Catholic education, in terms of structures, mission, identity, curriculum, and relationships with the principal’s varied constituencies. It also provides some insights into enrollment management issues, finances and development, and the day in day out care of the organization and its home, the school building. As a Catholic school leader, each must remember that the Catholic school is not just another educational option. The Catholic school has a rich history and an important mission. Historically, education of the young goes back to the monastic and cathedral schools of the Middle Ages. In the United States, Catholic schools developed as a response to anti?Catholic bias that was rampant during the nineteenth century. Catholic schools developed to move their immigrant and first generation American youth from the Catholic ghetto to successful careers and lives in the American mainstream. However, most importantly, Catholic schools have brought Christ to generations of youngsters. It remains the continuing call of the Catholic school to be a center of Evangelization—a place where Gospel values live in the lives of faculty, students and parents. This text attempts to integrate the unique challenges of the instructional leader of the institution with the historical and theological underpinnings of contemporary Catholic education.

Book Synopsis Researching Catholic Education by : Sean Whittle
Download or read book Researching Catholic Education written by Sean Whittle and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a range of perspectives on the current state of Catholic education in the opening decades of the twenty-first century. All of the chapters have their origin in an International Conference on Catholic Education, held at Heythrop College (University of London) in September 2016. The book brings together many leading scholars to present a survey of the latest research on Catholic education in areas such as the aims of Catholic education, Catholic schools and Catholic identity, leadership issues in Catholic schools and fresh thinking about the place of Religious Education (RE) in Catholic Education. This book demonstrates how the field of Catholic Education Studies has firmly come of age. Rather than being a subfield of educational or theological discourse, it is now an established field of research and study. As such, the book invites readers to engage with much of the new thinking on Catholic education that has grown rapidly in recent years. It offers a broad range of contemporary perspectives on research in Catholic Education and rich insights into current thinking about Catholic Education.
Book Synopsis Saving Minds, Saving Souls by : Sarah Thomas
Download or read book Saving Minds, Saving Souls written by Sarah Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2022-08-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a thirteen-year alumna of Catholic schools, Sarah Thomas thought she knew all about them: why they exist, how they're structured, and why they continue to be a powerful presence in American education. What she discovered, however, is that teaching in a Catholic school is, in many ways, not what she had assumed. Saving Minds, Saving Souls: Revitalizing Catholic Education Through Witness is based on Sarah Thomas's ten-year journey trying to find a teaching position in a Catholic school and her experiences thus far as an educator. Combining personal stories, interviews with current Catholic educators, and recent and historical data on educational trends, Thomas outlines the challenges and opportunities facing Catholic schools today and explains how "witness" is the key to building the brightest future possible for them. Saving Minds, Saving Souls is a nonfiction book that speaks to current and prospective members of the Catholic school community who want to look at the intersection of culture, education, and faith in a new way.
Book Synopsis Catholic Education by : Joseph Domfeh Boateng
Download or read book Catholic Education written by Joseph Domfeh Boateng and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-07-24 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an evangelizing arm of the church, Catholic education plays an indispensable role in introducing young people to rudimentary elements of the Catholic faith as well as creating human and social capital. In spite of the numerous contributions Catholic education has made in the area of socio-economic development, many people don't understand what Catholic education is nor appreciate its contribution in the character formation and overall enhancement of human capital. This book is written to explain what Catholic education is, its mission, its identity, and its challenges. The audience the book seeks to serve includes diocesan policymakers and those in charge of in-service training and formation programs aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of leadership practice in Catholic schools. This book is also a useful resource for Catholic school leaders and administrators. It is a must-read for students undertaking graduate studies in Catholic school leadership and new emerging leaders and administrators in Catholic education.
Book Synopsis Formation of Teachers for Catholic Schools by : Leonardo Franchi
Download or read book Formation of Teachers for Catholic Schools written by Leonardo Franchi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-10 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores in a theoretical and practical sense the challenges and opportunities arising in the initial and ongoing formation processes for teachers in Catholic schools. It showcases a range of international perspectives on how prospective teachers for Catholic schools are prepared both academically and pastorally for their professional role. Divided into two parts, Part 1 of the book focuses on certain countries in the Anglosphere; each country with a dedicated chapter in which the academic and pastoral approaches to teacher formation are examined in the context of its particular cultural, political and religious landscape. Part 2 of the book examines specific areas of interest with particular reference to what it means for the Catholic Church’s mission to offer suitable formation to its corps of teachers. Building on the editors' previous work, this book offers a fresh perspective on this subject by bringing together observations from selected local contexts on what Catholic teacher formation looks like as a set of organised processed and structures. It also shows how the study of educational themes offers challenges to current practices, but also opportunities for fruitful engagement with other educational perspectives.

Book Synopsis The Future of Catholic Higher Education by : James L. Heft
Download or read book The Future of Catholic Higher Education written by James L. Heft and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-14 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Catholic Church has gone through more change in the last sixty years than in the previous six hundred. These changes have caused a significant shift in the future outlook of Catholic higher education as the United States has developed a culture that has grown less receptive to religious traditions and practices. Drawing upon his extensive experience, James Heft lays out the current state of Catholic higher education and what needs to be done to ensure that Catholicism isn't fazed out of the educational system. Heft analyzes the foundational intellectual principles of Catholic Higher Education, and both the strengths and weaknesses of the present day system in order to look at possibilities for its future. Drawing upon both history and current cultural trends, The Future of Catholic Higher Education critiques the secularization thesis, explores the role of bishops, theologians, dissent, the sensus fidelium, the role of women and freedom of conscience, the relationship between theology and religious studies, hiring practices and curricular designs. Using the image of the "open circle," Heft advances a vision of the catholic university that is neither a "closed circle" of only Catholics nor a "market place of ideas with no distinctive mission." His "open circle" is one that fosters the Catholic intellectual tradition by including scholars of many religions, rooting Catholic social thought in Catholic doctrine, defending academic freedom and the mandatum.
Book Synopsis Irish and British Reflections on Catholic Education by : Sean Whittle
Download or read book Irish and British Reflections on Catholic Education written by Sean Whittle and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-20 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents an interdisciplinary and systematic review of Catholic Education Studies across Ireland and Britain. Taken together, the chapters drill down to the foundations, identity and leadership matters in Catholic education and schools. It is in reading the complete volume that a more precise picture of Catholic education in Ireland and Britain develops into sharper focus. This is important because it reflects and crystallises the complexity which has almost organically developed within the field of Catholic Education Studies. It also provides a powerful antidote to the naïve reductionism that would boil Catholic education down to just one or two fundamental issues or principles. Contemporary Catholic education, perhaps globally but certainly in Ireland and Britain, is best depicted in terms of being a colourful kaleidoscope of differing perspectives. However this diversity is ultimately grounded in the underlying unity of purpose, because each of the contributors to this volume is a committed advocate of Catholic education. The volume brings together a rich range of scholars into one place, so that these voices can be listened to as a whole. It includes contributions from leading scholars, blended with a plethora of other voices who are emerging to become the next generation of leading researchers in Catholic education. It also introduces a number of newer voices to the academic context. They present fresh perspectives and thinking about matters relating to Catholic education and each of them confidently stand alongside the other contributors. Moreover, these reflections on Catholic education are important fruits to have emerged from the collaboration made possible through the creation of the Network for Researchers in Catholic Education, which was established in 2016 under the auspices of Heythrop College, University of London.
Book Synopsis American Catholic Schools for the 21st Century by : Robert Kealey
Download or read book American Catholic Schools for the 21st Century written by Robert Kealey and published by National Catholic Education Assn. This book was released on 1998 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges all Catholic educators to plan for the future. The 19 essays, written by principals of Catholic elementary/middle schools, vary in their message, but they all share a vision for the future of Catholic schools. The volume opens with an essay that explains how a school must establish its values before it can determine it vision for the future. The booklet addresses how everyone is invited to participate in a Catholic education, and it offers several poetical versions of the Catholic school of the future. It asserts that Catholic school teachers must be paid a fair, just wage and that the strength of Catholic education is its partnerships with the church and with the community. It explores what Catholic schools will look like in the year 2020 and encourages principals to respond to various challenges in the same way that Jesus would have responded. The essays discuss chronological age versus readiness age, how Catholic schools can provide help to all students, various ideas of what Catholic schools will look like in the future, the family's future in Catholic schools, the challenge of stewardship, and restructuring Catholic schools for the 21st century. The book is intended to promote reflection and to stimulate dialogue. (RJM)
