123 TM 500 Introduction to Mentored Formation This course provides a theological framework for Christian formation, which prepares students for mentored learning in subsequent training and mentoring courses. Students will integrate a biblical understanding of calling, work, mission and spirituality into personal reflection assignments that will create a theological framework for the formation process while in seminary. They will also be prepared to identify and begin meeting with a mentor in TM 501 and beyond. One hour. TM 501 Mentored Formation In this semester of Mentored Formation, the students learn how to discern, develop and manage a personalized learning plan focused on the formation of the whole person. The students are required to utilize cognitive, experiential, and relational learning practices, some of which are familiar and others that uniquely challenge their learning style. These practices include the engagement of a self-procured mentor, in person and one-on-one, for a minimum of 10 hours each semester. While the student must have identified his/her mentor before the commencement of this course, the student is not required to begin meeting with the mentor until the first week of the semester. The intended outcome of the semester is to strengthen a student's capacity for life-long learning so that whole person formation continues post- seminary.
