Envisioning The Future Of Catholic Early Childhood Education, Martin Scanlan
Envisioning The Future Of Catholic Early Childhood Education, Martin Scanlan
College of Education Faculty Research and Publications
A hallmark of education is the conviction that parents are the primary educators of their children. Elementary and secondary Catholic school staffs recognize that while schools are vital, what they provide is secondary to what happens in the family. However, an important corollary to this frequently is ignored: the importance of early childhood education.

Both initiatives call for increased commitments in scientific research and in …

Portrait Of An Urban Elementary School: Place-Based Education, School Culture, And Leadership, Michael Thomas Duffin
Antioch University Full-Text Dissertations & Theses
This study explored the interaction between place-based education, school culture, and leadership at one elementary school in an inner city section of Boston, MA.

From an under-subscribed school in chaos and lacking focus, the subject school transformed into a vibrant, highly sought school with a pervasive, environmentally-oriented culture and curriculum. Portraiture methods were adapted to a utilization-focused evaluation purpose, drawing on …
