TM 605 Mentored Formation Elective
An elective course in training and mentoring for those who wish to focus on professional skill
development beyond the completion of their required TM courses. In collaboration with a mentoring
director, students will discern an external mentor, professional context and learning goal that will allow
for intentional growth in their professional competency. Students will discern, develop, manage, and
reflect on a personalized learning plan curriculum utilizing cognitive, experiential, and relational learning
practices which foster their knowledge and practice within a professional field context. These practices
include the engagement of a suitable, self-procured mentor, in person and one-on-one for ten hours within
the bounds of the semester. It is required that the student procure the mentor before the start of the
semester. The intended outcome of the semester is to strengthen a student's capacity for life-long learning
so that holistic, professional formation continues post-seminary. Prerequisite: instructor permission (and
approval by the TM department for summer registration). One hour.
