The universal foundation of all Catholic Schools is passing on the faith and ensuring high quality academic instruction is provided by qualified Catholic educators. This directive was affirmed in a document entitled, Renewing our Commitment to Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools in the Third Millennium, stating, "All Catholics must join together in efforts to ensure that Catholic schools have administrators and teachers who are prepared to provide an exceptional educational experience for young people-one that is both truly Catholic and of the highest academic quality" (p.1). Due to the structure of Catholic schools this responsibility typically falls to the school principal. One way principals can ensure teachers are providing high academic instruction based on the Catholic faith is to maintain a policy directly related to the teacher evaluation process. The purpose of this doctoral project was to identify the strengths and areas of growth within the teacher evaluation policy, procedures and practices of 22 (Arch)dioceses.
