Rubric
Each student will need to select a mentor
for his or her internship courses according
to the guidelines below. The same mentor
may serve for one or all three internship
courses (certificate level, license level, and
ordination level), as the student desires.
1.
The mentor will generally be the
student’s senior pastor, a staff
pastor, or other person designated
by the pastor to serve in the role of
mentor. The mentor must be a
credentialed minister.
2.
If the student is the senior pastor,
the student should consult his or
her sectional presbyter to assist in
the selection of a mentor. In some
cases, the presbyter may serve as
the mentor, or the presbyter may
appoint a neighboring pastor to
serve in that role.
3.
The mentor must not be closely
related to the student. This not only
promotes objectivity but broadens
the student’s experience by giving
him or her opportunity to learn from
someone other than a close
relative.
4.
The mentor must be a Licensed or
Ordained Minister. Licensed
Ministers may serve as mentors to
students seeking Certified
credentials. Ordained Ministers
may serve as mentors to students
seeking any level of ministerial
credentials. Certified Ministers are
not eligible to serve as mentors in
this program, unless a written
exception is made by the district
superintendent for a Certified
Minister who pastors to mentor a
student in the Certified level.
5.
The mentor must commit to the
time required in the Mentoring
Manual for each course. This will
involve weekly meetings with the
student for twelve weeks and some
additional time for monitoring the
student’s progress. Where multiple
students are studying the courses
in study centers, some of these
meetings may be group meetings
while others will be on an individual
basis.
