Program Summary

The certificate in reflective and faithful teaching (CRAFT) fosters the ongoing development of ThD students as theological educators. The objectives of the certificate include helping ThD students:

  1. reflect theologically about the craft and vocation of teaching;

  2. hone practical teaching skills with an eye toward different contexts of teaching, including online instruction;

  3. develop a thoughtful, theologically grounded philosophy of teaching; and

  4. improve their teaching in response to oral and written feedback from peers and professors.

Responsibility for administering the CRAFT program rests with the director of ThD program or that individual’s designee. This certificate is only available for ThD students.
