LDR 700 Innovation and Change in Catholic School Environments
This course addresses the call from the Congregation of Education for educators and administration working in the Educational sector, to: a) understand and accept the teachings of Catholic identity and apostolic goals; b) apply the evangelizing mission to address diversity and educational change in Catholic schools; and c) define multiple strategies in the areas of curriculum, instruction, and administrative practice to serve the needs of students, families, Church, and communities and align those to theory and practice of Catholic social thought. Readings and case studies will draw upon the long and varied tradition of Catholicism as well as from "scientific studies promoted by members of the laity, from the work of Catholic movements and associations, and from the Church's practical achievements in the social field" (Centesimus annus, 4).
