The programs described have several commonalities: They are the result of bold and visionary thinking; They are courageous in the steps they took to make a new creation; They are focused on providing a Catholic school education to those who seek it; They are future-oriented. Catholic schools must find alternatives to the traditional model of one parish, one school. Five new models from around the country are showcased, including merged schools, regional schools, and diocesan-wide systems. Our titles help all catholic educators and administrators have the professional resources to meet the highest standards of excellence in Catholic education. We provide resources for school, parish, diocesan offices, professional organizations and higher education institutions. Some of the areas we publish in include: Administration and Planning Classroom Materials Legal Issues Staff Development Governance Boards Religious Education Research and History Recruitment Curriculum Development Seminary Education Multicultural Issues Technology
