STMM 556 - Professional Identity and Pastoral Call

Employing the same methodology as STMM 555, this course addresses the question of professional identity within ministerial settings. After discerning and naming a new area of growth in their professional identity, students develop a learning contract that identifies strategies for achieving their goal. This yearlong course begins with a Fall retreat-like experience, continues as students implement learning contracts in their locations, and concludes in the Spring with a final peer evaluation. Progress is monitored through email updates, final paper and presentation to peers. Prerequisite: STMM 555.
