Every day teachers make decisions about how they intend 'to make adifference' for the students they teach, and so realise the hopes they had inbecoming teachers. Most of these decisions are not made consciously, but'on the run'. They are often dictated by the culture of the society, or theculture of the school or school system, in which teachers are employed.How teachers make pedagogical decisions is also shaped by how theyconstrue their role as teachers. It is our contention that cultural changesnow underway mean that the role of the teacher is being reformulated andthis has an important impact on what is considered to be 'good teaching',and how teachers in Catholic schools design learning and make pedagogicalchoices. Teachers are called upon to play a number of roles in the classroomand this complicates the process of making pedagogical choices. Added tothis, the advent of the coronavirus has tended to emphasise the indispensablerole that teachers play in the lives of children and young people.This book aims to bring to consciousness the considerations that informpedagogical choices, or perhaps should inform them, in order that theybecome more open to critique. It also invites teachers to become moreaware of the changes that are taking place in church and society, as variousapproaches and movements gain ground and then wane in importance. Thismay often be for no reason other than a shift in political orientation. Whilethe educational and cultural changes underway affect all schools, they have a particular relevance for Catholic schools where teaching practices are grounded in long-standing traditions. It is these traditions which are the carriers of, not only important values, but shared understandings of what those values demand in terms of life and action.

Are you part of a Catholic school community that is experiencing enrollment issues? Does your school have difficulty recruiting and retaining new students? St. Genevieve High School in Panorama City, California, was facing just such a harsh reality: its reputation was shot and enrollment was waning. By deciding to bring the school back from the edge and work toward achieving an “Ideal Catholic School Community,” St. Genevieve is now one of the great success stories in contemporary Catholic education. On the Edge relates that story, directly offering up the voices of faculty and staff —and their diverse perspectives—while providing an engaging and straight-talking narrative by the principal who led this stunning transformation.

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.

The book combines an original theoretical framework with research drawn from interviews with sixty Catholic secondary head teachers from deprived urban areas. Issues discussed include: *Catholic meanings of academic success *tensions between market values and Catholic values *threats to the mission integrity of Catholic schools *the spiritual, moral and social justice commitments of contemporary Catholic schools This book will be equally useful to leaders of Catholic and other schools and to all those interested in values and leadership in schooling.

The work presented in this volume attests to the innovative and successful educational alternatives designed and implemented by Catholic religious groups to improve educational, career, and life outcomes for urban children, adolescents, and adults placed at risk. These efforts have helped thousands of urban citizens break away from the chains of poverty and poor academic preparation to succeed in high school and beyond and secure a place of meaning and influence in adult society. In this volume, we examine the contributions of networks of schools, such as NativityMiguel and Cristo Rey schools in the U.S. and Canada and Fe y Alegría based in South America and operating in multiple countries, as well as more local initiatives. There is much to be learned from these initiatives that can improve urban education and this edited volume provides this opportunity to educators, planners, funders, and others who are inclined to invest in effective urban education. The perspectives taken in these chapters include current approaches to critical race theory, faith perspectives that promote justice, and the building of social capital and resilience to succeed academically despite considerable adversity associated with economic poverty. The chapters included here explore educational structures that communicate high expectations for student and teacher performance and provide individualized instruction, caring mentoring, and support beyond graduation in order to help develop men and women of confidence, skill, leadership, and integrity and ensure high levels of success in a world that tends to exclude them more than welcome them. Praise for Responding to the Call for Educational Justice: "One of the most unheralded, unreported and underappreciated initiatives in education are Catholic schools that are transforming the way that young people are taught. If you have never heard the words 'Cristo Rey,' 'Nativity/Miguel' or 'Fe y Alegria,' prepare to be amazed and delighted by this thorough study of the great benefits these creative and exciting schools bring to us." ~ James Martin, SJ Author of “Jesus: A Pilgrimage” and “The Jesuit Guide” "During these very troubling times within the Church and the larger society, we need critical voices that are unapologetically committed to eradicating the ideologies and structures of inequality within urban education, yet also speak of hope and possibility. In this very timely volume, Fenzel and Wyttenbach eloquently compile an insightful set of readings that courageously respond to our deep human yearning for freedom and offer us glimpses into a more just and loving world." ~ Antonia Darder, PhD Leavey Endowed Chair of Ethics and Moral Leadership Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles
