Teaching Catholic Social Justice Across the Disciplines: Practical Models for K–12 Educators highlights Catholic education’s mission to form both minds and hearts. Rooted in the call of Pope Francis and key Church documents, the book presents Catholic Social Teaching (CST) as a framework for promoting human dignity, the common good, solidarity, and care for creation. It emphasizes not only understanding CST but also applying it through practical, interdisciplinary strategies.

The book provides adaptable lesson plans, classroom activities, and project-based tools to integrate CST themes into subjects such as Language Arts, Science, Mathematics, Social Studies, and the Arts. It also connects Gospel values with pressing global issues like poverty, climate change, migration, and human rights, preparing students to be both academically capable and morally responsible.

Additionally, it guides school leaders in curriculum mapping, faculty formation, and whole-school implementation, ensuring alignment with the Church’s evangelizing mission. Ultimately, the book serves as both resource and roadmap, equipping educators to inspire students to think critically, act justly, and live faithfully, shaping a more just and compassionate world—one classroom at a time.
