Strategic Planning with the Board or Council as Lead Agent
Are you uncertain where your school will be a few years from now?
Will the resources you need be there? * Will the students be there?
The solution is strategic planning. Strategic planning begins with strategic thinking. It is a continuous, systematic thought process that identifies a desired future and ways to bring it about by linking strategic plans with medium-range programs and short-range operating and budgeting plans.

Religious Education Assessments
Religious Education Assessments (ACRE and IFG)
NCEA began offering religious education assessments for students in the late 1970's. Used by Catholic schools and parish-based religious education programs, NCEA ACRE is an integrated approach to assessment offering both faith knowledge (cognitive domain) as well as beliefs, behaviors, attitudes, and practices (affective domain) sections. IFG is an assessment survey of religious knowledge and spirituality for adults. It supports the importance and ongoing nature of adult faith formation for Catholic school, faculty and staff, parish catechists, RCIA catechists, youth ministers, parents, seminarians, novices, and the Catholic adult population at large.

Validating the Vision
Validating the Vision provides the basis for school assessment in the context of the school's mission and strategic planning. Schools reviewing their foundation documents including mission and philosophy; undertaking self-study or accreditation; and connecting these with planning will find in this protocol both the content and the process to guide their efforts. Resting on the assumption that the Catholic character of the school is inherent in all aspects of climate, culture, programs, and services, the protocol embeds assessment criteria throughout an analysis of the state of the school and the formulation of the strategic plan. Look for Validating the Vision in the Online Store.
Sharing the Faith
Sharing the Faith is a faculty faith development program for Catholic elementary and secondary schools. The program, based on the conviction that the mission of Catholic schools is expressed in the lives of the faculty, addresses the need for an adult-based, professional in-service that balances personal reflection with community building. It is a proven means of blending theological information, personal reflection and school mission and it is currently on sale. [More information]
