More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Part of a six volume series of theme papers commissioned for the National Congress on Catholic schools for the 21st century, November 6-10, 1991, this document contains two of the theme papers. In “The Challenge: To Provide Leadership within Catholic Schools” Karen Ristau examines how leadership is affected by socio-political factors in the United States, within the church, both universally and nationally, and by the general lack of confidence in education. Additionally, Ristau looks at who the followers are and reviews how leadership differs from management, in order to have a clearer definition and understanding of the present situation that may help to find more effective leaders. In the second paper, “Strengthening Preparation and Support for Leadership in Catholic Schools”, Joseph Rogus focuses on leadership preparation and support. Two factors that relate most directly to this focus are explored: (1) the decreasing percentage of religious who staff the schools, and (2) the mixed messages received from bishops with respect to the future of Catholic schools.

The document concludes with a study and discussion guide, and biographical information about the authors. (KM
