Candler School of Theology

 

For Incoming Con Ed I Students

Program Description

During your first year, you will enroll in Contextual Education I unless you enroll in the Teaching Parish or Anglican Studies track. Your first semester of Contextual Education is composed of an Introductory Arts of Ministry course, social service or clinical site placement with four hours of weekly work, and a one hour weekly site supervisor meeting.

Your second semester is composed of four hours of weekly work and a two hour weekly reflection group. Please see the Registrar's curriculum guide for details on academic credit.

Selecting and Enrolling in Your Contextual Education I Site

In the summer as incoming students enroll in their fall courses through the Registrar’s Office, they simultaneously select their Contextual Education site and enroll in the corresponding Reflection Group (CE 551a) and Contextualized Introductory Arts of Ministry (IAM) course which is paired with their particular Con Ed site.  The Registrar will give students instructions in this enrollment process prior to the enrollment period.  The reflection group (CE 551a) is two credit hours and the Contextualized IAM course is three credits.  The Contextualized IAM course is taught by Candler faculty and contextualized with the Con Ed sites in mind.  Teaching Parish and Anglican Studies students will also enroll in one of the Contextualized IAM courses, as well as the Reflection Group designed for those students.
 
The Candler Contextual Education web site identifies the twelve Con Ed sites, their locations and distance from the Emory campus, the Site Supervisors, and other critical information about the site. Students can view on-line the hours available to students to fulfill their weekly four-hour and on-site requirements.  Students will know from the fall schedule of course offerings the day and time of the weekly Reflection Group (CE 551a) and Contextualized Introductory Arts of Ministry courses.
 
Students will remain at the same Con Ed site in the spring semester.
