CATHOLIC IDENTITY AND EXPECTATIONS FOR TEACHERS
Teachers in Catholic schools share the very mission of
the Church to teach and sanctify, not only by professional instruction
in the classroom but by personal commitment to the truths and moral
guidelines given by Christ. The excellence of a school depends to a very
large measure on the quality of the teachers on its staff.
In assisting teachers to meet their commitment to the
students, parents, the community, and the profession, the following
expectations are developed:
Catholic staff members are expected to model a
faithful Catholic life which includes participation in the Sacraments
and striving to live in harmony with Gospel teaching as interpreted by
the Church. All staff members are expected to follow, both in and out of
school, lifestyle and deportment in harmony with Catholic teaching and
principles.
Catholic educators have a special responsibility to
encourage each student to achieve his/her maximum potential as they work
to stimulate the spirit of inquiry, the acquisition of knowledge,
understanding, and the thoughtful formulation of worthy goals.
Catholic teachers help students see the relevance of
a Christian value system in their daily lives.
In his/her relationship with the students, the teacher
shows concern, love, and respect for each student called by God to an
uniqueness that is the dignity of each individual.
In his/her relationship with the other staff members,
the teacher shows care and concern for their total welfare, and their
growth as persons and as Catholic Christians.
In his/her relationship with the parents of the
students, the teacher recognizes that the parents are the primary
educators of their children and that the school and teacher are partners
with the parents in this important undertaking.
As Catholic school educators, teachers strive to
create a Christian environment which promotes sound moral and
professional judgment. Through their spirit of joy and enthusiasm,
teachers encourage others to join them in their apostolate of teaching
in a Catholic school.
In brief, if Catholic schools are to attain the aims
and objectives of Catholic education, it is not enough that teachers be
academically well qualified, nor is it enough that they know the right
things to say about the Catholic faith to the students. First and
foremost, teachers must be and must live what they teach.
