Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) Committee on Catholic Education released a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usccb.org\/beliefs-and-teachings\/how-we-teach\/catholic-education\/common-core-state-standards-faqs.cfm\">document<\/a>\u00a0 in 2014 to guide Catholic schools in their approach to educational standards. It had been longstanding practice in Catholic education to rely heavily upon state standards for public schools, but this became increasingly controversial when many states shifted to the Common Core State Standards. The Committee advised:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Catholic schools must consider standards that support the mission and purpose of the school as a Catholic institution. Attempts to compartmentalize the religious and the secular in Catholic schools reflect a relativistic perspective by suggesting that faith is merely a private matter and does not have a significant bearing on how reality as a whole should be understood.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Such attempts are at odds with the integral approach to education that is a hallmark of Catholic schools. Standards that support an appropriate integration should be encouraged. Such standards are critical to Catholic education. The Church and the Catholic intellectual tradition it inspired have thought deeply and explicitly about these things for centuries; the challenge is to place them into a contemporary K-12 standards format without losing these deep spiritual and philosophical insights. Standards reflecting the Catholic intellectual tradition might then form the foundation of a school\u2019s measures of success, or they might complement a school\u2019s carefully selected academic standards that are already in use.<\/p>\n<p>The scope and nature of this project entails research and inquiry into two areas: \u201cWhat does the Church expect of its schools?\u201d and \u201cWhat sort of academic standards in each discipline might guide a school\u2019s curriculum toward this end?\u201d The Cardinal Newman Society undertook the first inquiry with its <em>Principles of Catholic Identity in Education<\/em> project. The second inquiry resulted in these<em> Catholic Curriculum Standards<\/em>. Research from the first inquiry resulted in the synthesis of key Church teachings into five principles of Catholic identity. They are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li>Inspired by Divine Mission,<\/li>\n<li>Models Christian Communion and Identity,<\/li>\n<li>Encounters Christ in Prayer, Scripture, and Sacrament,<\/li>\n<li>Integrally Forms the Human Person, and<\/li>\n<li>Imparts a Christian View for Humanity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Principles 1, 4, and 5 most directly guide the scope and of the<em> Catholic Curriculum Standards<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Catholic Curriculum Standards<\/em> take into account guidance from Church documents which emphasize that Catholic education:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Involves the integral formation of the whole person, body, mind, and spirit, in light of his or her ultimate end and the good of society.<\/li>\n<li>Seeks to know and understand objective reality, including transcendent Truth, which is knowable by reason and faith and finds its origin, unity, and end in God.<\/li>\n<li>Promotes human virtues and the dignity of the human person, as created in the image and likeness of God and modeled on the person of Jesus Christ.<\/li>\n<li>Encourages a synthesis of faith, life, and culture.<\/li>\n<li>Develops a Catholic worldview and enables a deeper incorporation of the student into the heart of the Catholic Church.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This framework guides the second part of the inquiry, \u201cWhat sort of academic standards might serve to guide a school\u2019s curriculum toward this end?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The initial development of the standards was influenced by multiple sources, including Church documents, scholarly works related to Catholic education and the Catholic intellectual tradition, and books articulating the nature of liberal arts and classical education. The standards also reflect the educational philosophies of several faithful Catholic colleges in <em>The Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>A series of meetings, focus groups, and contacts with academic subject area experts helped further refine the scope and nature of each discipline\u2019s Catholic tradition and the complete standards; these experts represent Aquinas College (Nashville), Ave Maria University, Catholic University of America, Christendom College, Franciscan University of Steubenville, Thomas Aquinas College, Thomas More College of Liberal Arts, University of St. Thomas (Houston), and others. Cardinal Newman Society authors then structured the standards into conventional standards-based language and format. Further input and review was provided by national standards expert, Dr. Sandra Stotsky, who oversaw the writing of the highly regarded Massachusetts academic standards and was a final validation team member by the developers of the Common Core before resigning in disagreement. Finally, the standards were reviewed by superintendents, teachers, and curriculum experts in three Catholic dioceses for clarity, applicability, and structure.<\/p>\n<p>Each academic discipline\u2019s standards are broadly grouped into two sets focusing on grades K-6 and 7-12, with general, intellectual, and dispositional standards for each academic discipline. The general standards are tied to the five critical elements listed above. Intellectual standards are cognitive standards and are primarily content and performance based. The dispositional standards involve the formation of character, beliefs, attitudes, values, interpersonal skills. Each standard is given a unique identifier for ease of location within the document and identification in teacher lesson plans. The\u00a0 following are examples of standards for English language arts, math, science, and history:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div class='avia-data-table-wrap av-3o4db6-5b4d7dde1f9658a205f090dd2c0e84b5 avia_responsive_table avia-table-1'><table  class='avia-table avia-data-table avia_pricing_default  avia-builder-el-15  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Table\" ><tbody><tr class=''><td class=''>CS<\/td><td class=''>ELA.712<br \/>\n(English Language Arts 7-12)<\/td><td class=''>GS3<\/td><td class=''>Analyze works of fiction and non-fiction to uncover authentic Truth.<\/td><\/tr><tr class=''><td class=''>CS<\/td><td class=''>H.K6<br \/>\n(History K-6)<\/td><td class=''>IS11<\/td><td class=''>Identify the motivating values that have informed particular societies and how they correlate with Catholic teaching.<\/td><\/tr><tr class=''><td class=''>CS<\/td><td class=''>S.K6<br \/>\n(Scientific Topics K-6)<\/td><td class=''>IS8<\/td><td class=''>Explain how science properly limits its focus to \u201chow\u201d things physically exist and is not designed to answer issues of meaning, the value of things, or the mysteries of the human person.<\/td><\/tr><tr class=''><td class=''>CS<\/td><td class=''>M.K6<br \/>\n(Math K-6)<\/td><td class=''>DS2<\/td><td class=''>Respond to the beauty, harmony, proportion, radiance, and wholeness present in mathematics.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-k94nw8ab-695ddb05a1e5f48218e99fc792bb1c2b '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>In addition to the standards, the document contains a number of appendices to assist implementation.

They are broadly grouped into two grade levels, K-6 and 7-12. They express student levels of learning, inviting educators to assign or develop materials and choose subject matter that serve the unique mission of Catholic education.<\/p>\n<p>We built the standards on the solid foundation of Church documents, the educational philosophies of faithful <em>Newman Guide <\/em>colleges, and many writings on Catholic, liberal arts, and classical education. We consulted with many leading Catholic scholars, school leaders, and standards experts to ensure the highest quality resource.<\/p>\n<p>For parents and educators seeking more practical assistance, the <em>Catholic Curriculum Standards <\/em>are accompanied by lists of recommended resources and suggested literature. This website offers additional resources and a growing treasury of insights into Catholic education that may be useful to both parents and schools.<\/p>\n<p>The standards may be implemented by Catholic educators according to their needs. Where there is already success in renewing Catholic education, we hope the <em>Catholic Curriculum Standards <\/em>strengthen that renewal. Where educators are looking to change course, the standards may be a valuable tool.<\/p>\n<p>Even amid growing challenges in today\u2019s society, Catholic schools and homeschool programs that embrace and celebrate the mission of Catholic education continue to thrive across the United States. The Cardinal Newman Society makes this free resource available to all educators, including parents, the primary educators of children, in hopes of continuing this renewal of Catholic education for the benefit of our children, our Church, and the common good they serve.<\/p>\n<p>Yours in Christ,<\/p>\n<table width=\"529\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/7t5ytx6h223q3qj01iqd281c-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dan2.jpg\" data-featherlight=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7915 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/7t5ytx6h223q3qj01iqd281c-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dan2.jpg\" alt=\"dan2\" width=\"200\" height=\"77\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/7t5ytx6h223q3qj01iqd281c-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Denise2.jpg\" data-featherlight=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7914 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/7t5ytx6h223q3qj01iqd281c-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Denise2.jpg\" alt=\"denise2\" width=\"200\" height=\"77\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dan Guernsey, Ed.D.<br \/>\nDirector of K-12 Programs<\/td>\n<td>Denise Donohue, Ed.D.<br \/>\nDeputy Director of K-12 Programs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Developers of the <em>Catholic Curriculum Standards<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-k4x4vus6-13-5f74395b816452e1d4d45d856aaf8e7c\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-k4x4vus6-13-5f74395b816452e1d4d45d856aaf8e7c{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-k4x4vus6-13-5f74395b816452e1d4d45d856aaf8e7c hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-25  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-6n12y-618359f2a847013822a1a2170f8b507d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Acknowledgements<\/h1>\n<p>Joseph Almeida, Ph.D. (Franciscan University of Steubenville)<br \/>\nDominic Aquila, D.Litt et Phil.
