3 semester hours

This course will provide new and aspiring administrators with the historical roots of Catholic education as it relates to the mission of the Church in a contemporary context. It will further examine the practices of Religious Education and Catholic Identity that promote mature faith in adults as well as children within and beyond the Catholic school setting. This course will present an analysis of the theological, philosophical, historical, and sociological aspects of American Catholic education, with a focus on policy implications for the contemporary context of the Catholic Church. Topics to be discussed include fostering a Christian climate in the school community, principled-based leadership, catechetical leadership, the role of discipleship, lifelong faith development, and service activities that empower people to become leaders in social justice.
