“…There have been frequent calls by educators and researchers alike to examine the Catholicity of schools. Carrithers and Peterson (2010) argue that this exists for two potential, contrasting reasons. The first reason is the "natural desire for continuous quality improvement" while the other more, pessimistic reason, "comes form a suspicion that [educators at Catholic schools] are failing---that 'Catholic' is in fact merely a superfluous adjective" (p. 416).…”

“…Few empirical studies examine how Catholic identity is incorporated into disciplinary classrooms. Carrithers and Peterson (2010) argued that in order to encourage faculty to engage in Catholicity with their teaching, studies should occur at disciplinary levels. While focusing on economics and business classes at the university level, Carrithers and Peterson argued that disconnecting disciplinary classes from Catholic teachings can be detrimental to student learning and understanding of concepts.…”

“…This study falls under Carrithers and Peterson's (2010) second argument for looking at the Catholicity of schools-that we are "failing---that 'Catholic' is in fact merely a superfluous adjective" (p. 416). We, as teacher-educators, administrators, and K-12 teachers, need to ensure that our students are receiving a "sound education, rooted in the Gospel message" (USCCB, 2013, para.…”

This study explores how one teacher, Rebecca, makes sense of teaching history in a Catholic school. This Catholic school had a clear religious mission and did not have required curriculum or high-stakes tests. Yet, findings indicate that Rebecca did not attend to the religious mission in her teaching and, in absence of curricula or high-stakes tests, she relied heavily on the textbook. Findings demonstrate the need for a greater understanding of what curricular content is being taught and learned in Catholic elementary and secondary schools and how it aligns with the mission and purpose of Catholic schools.

“…We educators-in schools and in teacher preparation programs-are natural partners to reduce the achievement gap by preparing teachers to work in schools with underachieving populations. We can create partnerships between Catholic universities and K-12 schools in order to advance social justice through transformative educational practices leading to excellence and equity (Carrithers & Peterson, 2010;Doyle & Connelly, 2011;Heft, 2006;Jessop, 2001;McQuillan et al, 2009).…”
