How do you receive Associate in Ministry
credit for SELECT courses?
- At
the conclusion of the course, write a reflection paper (see
below). When taking a course with two separate parts both
courses I and II of the course should be included in a single
paper.
-
Submit the reflection paper for approval by:
- Having
your Synod Candidacy Committee designate someone to read and approve
the paper, and to notify SELECT in writing of the approval, or,
- Sending
the paper to the SELECT office with a check for $15.00.
A
certificate of completion will be issued by SELECT after the paper
has been approved.
| Anyone taking a
SELECT course, listening to a SELECT lecture or participating in
SELECT pericope studies is eligible for a continuing education
certificate. Continuing Education Units (CEU's) are awarded on
the basis of 1 CEU for every 10 hours of participation.
Participant time is listed in the description of each course.
Pericope studies are rated at 2 participant hours for each
session. Requests for CEU certificates must be in
writing. Please include the name of the course, lecture or
pericope study as well as the name and address of those
participants who want certificates. |
Guidelines for
reflection paper (for Associate in Ministry certification)
This paper should reflect on the student's own understanding of the
course material, rather than a presentation of objective research.
The student should address the following topics:
-
Summarize (and critique if you wish) the whole course in your own
words, rather than pursue some small issue. That is, what were
some of the key ideas in the course? What was most meaningful,
provocative or challenging for you? Refer to both the video and
the assigned readings. This should be the major part of your
paper.
-
Briefly, tell the impact of the course. How might the course have
relevance for your life or work? How might it affect your
ministry?
The paper should be 10 pages or so in
length and double-spaced.
For information regarding the process
for receiving a certificate of course completion, please see page 49
in the SELECT Catalog.
All questions regarding Associate in
Ministry program & certification should be directed to your Synod
Candidacy Committee.
