Module Indicative Content
This module will enable the student to examine and critique the nature of pastoral care and discipleship within their agency and practice. It will seek to develop an understanding of Christian spirituality in relation to the holistic care of children, young people and families, within a multi-agency approach, in pluralistic communities, church and educational contexts.
Module Learning Strategies
This module incorporates several inter-related learning strategies. The interactive learning groups will provide lectures and seminars involving a combination of group activities, student led work, simulations, skills practice, discussion etc. The independent study provides opportunity for reading, library based and online research. The remote learning in the professional practice work place will help develop professional skills.
