Book excerpt: The way in which a school community deals with a crisis situation is a test of its sense of community. This guidebook, intended for Catholic-school principals, presents a detailed plan to help schools establish crisis-management teams and offers directions for their operation. Chapter 1 presents an overview of crisis management and focuses on how this concept differs in Catholic schools and public schools. Chapter 2 offers suggestions for developing a crisis-management team within a school. The third chapter focuses on a systematic plan for assessing the level of crisis, involving the team in a process that allows them to develop a more intimate knowledge of the school site and buildings. Team training and preparing for crisis response are discussed in the fourth chapter. The role of the principal in developing the team and working with the team during an actual crisis is the focus of chapter 5. Chapter 6 provides suggestions for training and crisis management from the teacher's perspective. The seventh chapter considers how the faith dimension serves as a resource during times of crisis, which can help students deal with a crisis event. Chapter 8 offers suggestions and a rationale for incorporating mental health professionals in a coordinated crisis-response program. Tips for dealing with parents are offered in chapter 9. Chapter 10 examines the role played by the priest/pastor during a school-related emergency, and chapter 11 summarizes the themes of the book. Appendices contain an outline for developing a crisis-team response manual, a sample agenda for a crisis-team workshop, and a series of practice simulations. A brief annotated bibliography is included. (LMI)
Download or read book The Two Directions Formulating a Crisis in Primary Catholic School Leadership written by Rachel Gould and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the year 2000, there has been a statistically high proportion of head teachers leaving the profession. While there have been studies conducted to predict when this exodus would conclude, the actual reasons for why senior people are leaving their positions have not been explored so far. Schools have found replacing head teachers increasingly difficult and the inevitable leadership crisis has been well documented by both scholars and the media. The leadership crisis has been most noticeable within the Catholic Primary School sector, where statistics have consistently shown an issue with recruiting people to headship positions. This book considers the reasons for the crisis and looks at potential solutions. It identifies what the leadership crisis encompasses from the negativity of the education system (including headship accountability, the work-life balance, and salary), whilst also offsetting this with possible supporting solutions, such as the value of acting headship, succession planning and talent spotting from the beginning of a teacher’s career.

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.

Download or read book High Impact Leadership in Catholic Education written by Judith A. Dwyer and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2024-10-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to the high-impact leadership that is essential for realizing successful, vibrant Catholic K-12 schools, colleges, and universities Recent studies by educational organizations, such as the National Association of Independent Schools, have found that aspiring leaders believe they lack preparation in areas such as financial planning and fundraising, human resource and legal issues, trustee governance, risk management, and addressing polarization within their school community. High-Impact Leadership in Catholic Education proposes that contemporary Catholic K-12, college, and university leaders embrace a fundamental, high-impact approach to all aspects of the academic organization. This high-impact model examines the centrality of the Catholic mission; the strategic plan as an institutional road map; steps to foster a safe, vibrant community with a financially sound future; the critical importance of risk assessment and crisis management; the unique role of trustees; and the qualities that characterize high-impact leadership. On the basis of Dwyer's extensive experience in teaching and administration in American Catholic universities and independent schools, each chapter also includes critical questions for reflection and a pertinent case study. This book is aimed at leaders in Catholic education at K-12 and higher education levels. It will be particularly interesting to administrators of Catholic institutions who aspire to be presidents, principals, heads of school, and senior leaders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My book, Managing Critical Seconds Before a School Crisis is intended to motivate principals, teachers, students, and all school stakeholders to achieve the highest level of success in safety in public schools in America. It is organized for principals, policer officers, parents, students, teachers, superintendents, school board members, and politicians to use as a tool to improve safety and eliminate the violent acts of the school shooter in public schools. The organization and framework of this book is based on a true story of a safe and secure schools director who supervised 74 campuses and 60,000 students for 11 years. I saw many facets of school safety and prevention methods prior to my assignment as safe and secure schools director. I speak from a knowledge base of 47 years of service in public schools. This book, Managing Critical Seconds Before a School Crisis will recommend that we strictly enforce security and directions in every phase at the high school level and elementary level. Building a safe learning environment for our students is a top priority! Many challenges still exist and will continue to exist during this violent era in public education in America. We as parents, community leaders, educators, and first responders will face this dilemma together and develop a security system that will allow peace and harmony during time students are on campuses in our public schools. The purpose of this book is to share my views on keys to building an effective campus security system. As director of safe and secure schools for a large urban public school district for 11 years, I had the opportunity to research school security standards, attend safety staff development, seminars, observe "best practices" in surrounding school districts, develop, and implement a school district crisis management plan. We know as educators to put in place the best safety plan for our students and teachers. My book will summarize key components of building an effective campus security system. Managing Critical Seconds Before a School Crisis is designed to raise the hope and dreams of all high school and elementary school students who need to believe that accepting a challenge to be the best is only possible when hard work is applied correctly and in a timely manner. This book will recommend that we strictly enforce security and directions in every phase of school safety. The average elementary and junior high reader will have the opportunity to read this book and understand the path of a safe and secure learning environment.
