The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by which the school system makes decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The context also impacts the way a school system stays faithful to its vision. Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders, a description of stakeholder engagement, the trends and issues affecting the school system, and the kinds of programs and services that a school system implements to support student learning. <br><br> The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school system with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and challenges it encounters. By doing so, the public and members of the community will have a more complete picture of how the school system perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement. This summary is structured for the school system to reflect on how it provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis.

  • After Years of Waiting, Vatican to Release the Report on Former Cardinal Mccarrick
    After years of waiting, Vatican to release the report on former cardinal McCarrick The U.S. bishops’ upcoming fall general assembly will be overshadowed by the presence of a man who won’t be there — former cardinal Theodore McCarrick. On Tuesday, less than a week before the Nov. 16-17 meeting, the Vatican plans to release a long-awaited report that is expected to shed light on McCarrick’s rise to the top levels of the Church hierarchy. The report will detail findings of a Vatican investigation that began more than two years ago in response to disclosures that the then-cardinal was guilty of sex abuse. Removed from the office of cardinal and laicized, he is now 90 and living in seclusion. The report, which is said to be hundreds of pages long, is scheduled for release at 8 a.m. EST. Although the advance agenda for American bishops assembly makes no mention of it — and most bishops presumably will not have seen it at the time of their meeting — it is hard to imagine that its findings will not come up in some form, whether publicly or privately. Unlike most the fall assemblies of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which take place in person in Baltimore, this year’s will be conducted in virtual format because of the coronavirus pandemic. Livestreamed plenary sessions open to media and the public will take place Nov. 16 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. EST, followed by a news conference, and Tuesday, Nov. 17 from 1 p.m.
