Definitions
Theological training organisation (TTO) refers to a Bible college, seminary, or theological school, university or institute which offers formal, informal or non-formal training. The TTO specialises in one or more of preparing students for Christian ministry, biblical studies, doctrinal or ecclesiastical theology or practical ministry.
See the "important comments" section below for a more detailed explanation of what we mean by formal, informal and non-formal training.
This indicator counts theological training organisations who are offering training on a CCT process in their curriculums and teachings.
How?
Country and sub-regional teams should monitor how many TTOs are teaching CCT as a result of their influencing work via their country strategies on Track. Partners can also contribute to this indicator via their projects on Track.
The Theology and Network Engagement Team (TNE) will monitor the TTOs that are teaching CCT as a result of their influencing work at the regional and global level, via its team strategy on Track. TNE will also report on TTOs teaching CCT as a result of our influence in countries where Tearfund does not have a country team presence.
You can count TTOs teaching CCT as a result of your influence anywhere in the world.
For this indicator, each TTO teaching CCT should ideally be named in the narrative description accompanying the update (or in a separate spreadsheet that is linked in the narrative), along with a brief description of how CCT is being embedded in the curriculum of the TTO, the curriculum content, and how Tearfund or its partners and allies contributed to this outcome.
Evidence for this indicator can be collected through asking the theological training organisation’s leadership and checking published course material.
Who collects?
Country and sub-regional teams will collect this data every six months at the country / sub-regional level, with support from TNE and CCT advisors where appropriate. TNE will collect this data at regional and global level every six months. Partners can also contribute to this indicator via their projects on Track.
