Abstract
This study explores how one teacher, Rebecca, makes sense of teaching
history in a Catholic school. This Catholic school had a clear religious
mission and did not have required curriculum or high-stakes tests. Yet,
findings indicate that Rebecca did not attend to the religious mission in
her teaching and, in absence of curricula or high-stakes tests, she relied
heavily on the textbook. Findings demonstrate the need for a greater
understanding of what curricular content is being taught and learned in
Catholic elementary and secondary schools and how it aligns with the mission
and purpose of Catholic schools.
