This one (1) credit hybrid course will support students as they start their studies at Starr King and learn to think about their learning and formation through the SKSM Eight Thresholds Model. Students can attend synchronously or asynchronously, according to their needs.
We will discuss the history and the language of the Thresholds, the areas of work of each Threshold in relation to the MDiv and MASC degrees and their different vocational goals, and the questions in the Initial Threshold Assessment. We will frame the Thresholds in the context of SKSM ECO-JSC and Multireligious commitments. Different faculty will be invited to speak about their area of expertise in relation to the Thresholds.
Faculty and peers will offer affirmation, questions, and accountability so each participant can finish their written, video or mixed media ITA by the end of the first term.
This course is required but can be waived with no financial penalty if the student has completed their Inital Threshold Assessment by Friday, Feb. 7, 2025. Required Assignments: discussion (in person and/or on Populi), weekly drafts and final Inital Threshold Assessment.
This course is for students in their first term at SKSM and welcomes anyone who still needs to complete the ITA.
Meets on Mondays, 9:40am -11:00am PT
