Overview
""Catholic School Leadership"" addresses many of the challenges facing those who prepare faith leaders and education leaders for the Catholic schools of the future. The contributors to this volume have written about their personal experiences with Catholic schools; the educational foundations of Catholic schools; teacher preparation and development; Catholic school leadership; dealing with parents and families; and the challenges of technology for Catholic schools. The contributions emphasize the perspectives of both scholars and practitioners within Catholic education and will interest those who have experienced time in a Catholic school either as a student, teacher or administrator, as well as those interested in what is happening within Catholic schools today.

Reviews
The book is full of history, experience and programme for training, especially the training of principals in history, doctrine, pastoral skills, firmly rooted in the Gospel ... full of wise words, sound advice and bright vision ... Altogether there are a lot of goads to thought, and strong hope to combine the skills of the doctor with the plumber's faith. Bolder spirits will get their own copies. Others should ensure it is in the teachers' centre or local library.' - - Digest, Association of Christian Teachers
