Abstract

This study presents research examining how networks of Catholic schools nurture critical formation of children and adults. The participants are engaged in a research practice partnership (RPP) with three networks of Catholic schools engaged in critical formation. The ultimate goal of this RPP is to develop materials to support educators across public and private sectors in developing innovative and transformative approaches to critical formation.
