Professional Development Course for Ministerial Directors on the Adventist Learning Community
|
Course Summary
The Ministerial Directors Course is for the purposes of training and equipping pastors across North America to utilize the Adventist Learning Community to record, report, and track CEU credits for Pastors.
What do I need to know?
This course is worth 0.2 CEUs. It is comprehensive coverage of the why, the what, the how, and the benefits of professional development. You must watch all the videos, and successfully complete the accompanying quizzes for each video at 100% mastery. You will have unlimited attempts at the quizzes. This content can be used by Ministerial Directors to train Pastors. Additionally, it can be used by Pastors as a reference tool when logging professional development CEUs.
What Will I Learn In This Course?
By the end of this course the learner will be able to: 1. Understand the rational for Pastoral professional development within the North American Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. 2. Comprehend the details of the program of professional development as it applies to Pastors. 3. Implement the reporting and recording of CEU credits within the ALC platform. 4. Analyze the benefits of professional development as it relates to the profession of ministry. You'll need to have an account on the ALC by signing up in order to take the course.
