ACPE 520 - Level 2 Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) (8)

Prerequisites: ACPE510
The curriculum for CPE Level II addresses the development and integration of pastoral formation, pastoral competence and pastoral reflection to a level of competence that permits students to attain professional certification and/or admission to Supervisory CPE. The supervisor’s final evaluation will include a statement attesting to the competence demonstrated at the time of the evaluation. [Unit of CPE is: minimum of 100 structured education hours: 300 clinical curriculum practice hours]. Satisfactorily addressing the Level 2 outcomes usually requires completion of 2+ units of Level 2 CPE. Progression into Level II requires a level of competency in the Level I outcomes that permits the student to be building upon those competencies and no longer needing to address them as primary learning objectives. This is established through the supervisor’s judgment documented in the written evaluation. Outcomes define the competencies to be developed by students as a result of participating in each unit of CPE.
