In this increasingly litigious society, where seemingly innocent actions can be taken wrong, here is a book that every Catholic school educator needs to have. Mary Angela Shaughnessy, with a lifetime of experience in Catholic education supplemented with legal expertise, has written a practical guide to help today's Catholic school teachers deal with the legal issues facing them.
This revised edition of a popular and well-received work takes into account legal concerns that were barely imagined a decade ago, including student violence, confidentiality and sexual harassment. Shaughnessy's intent is sublimely simple and pragmatic.
It provides Catholic school teachers with an instrument by which to assess their knowledge.It also offers a practical guide to the principles of school law, and specific recommendations for teachers.
The author provides relevant case law to underscore certain issues as well as a helpful Glossary of Terms. Catholic Schools and the Law: A Teacher's Guide is, literally, a book that no Catholic school teacher/administrator or religious educator can afford to be without
