Enhancing Catholic School Identity Program
Enhancing Catholic School Identity is a two-year program for administrators of Catholic elementary and secondary schools to enhance their ability to foster the Catholic identity of the schools. The specific intent of this program is to focus on the development of the Catholic school administrator as the spiritual leader of the school community. For more information on this program please contact the CACE department at cace@ncea.org.
Select Programs for Improving Catholic Education (SPICE)
SPICE is a program that identifies, validates, and systematically diffuses Catholic elementary and secondary programs that work, so that other schools/dioceses can replicate or adapt them. Programs may also serve as catalysts for the creation of new models. For more information please go to /services/SPICE.asp
Technology Plans
Catholic schools have an opportunity to have significant portions of their technology purchases reduced by applying for an E-Rate discount. Prior to filing an application, it is required that a school's plan be approved by a recognized approving agency. While it is preferred that a school seeks approval through a local public school district or its diocesan office, the service is available to member schools for a modest administrative fee of $100.00. Please make checks payable to NCEA/CACE Department.
Technology plans can be submitted by two methods:
By Mail:
Meg C. DeBoe
Administrative Assistant, CACE
1005 N. Glebe Road
Arlington, VA 22201
The approval process takes 3 – 4 weeks.
Catholic Higher Education Supporting Catholic Schools (CHESCS pronounced ‘chess’)
Previously known as Association of Catholic Leadership Programs (ACLP). Founded in 1983, the Association of Catholic Leadership Programs was a consortium of Catholic colleges and universities that supported professional preparation of leaders for Catholic schools.
The new name reflects a desire for a broader focus - inclusive of all Catholic colleges and universities which support Catholic elementary and secondary schools through degree programs, certificate/licensure programs, seminars and professional development experiences for all working in Catholic education ministries.
Following the meeting at the NCEA Convention in Minneapolis (Monday, April 5, 2010) committees are identifying and soliciting potential members and drafting a Vision statement for consideration.
The next meeting will be in conjunction with the CACE Annual Meeting in Mobile, AL, on Tuesday October 26, 2010 from lunch at noon to 2:30 pm.
For more information, please contact Lorraine Ozar lozar@luc.edu.
