There always seems to be a theoretical approach to programs (in theology/ministry preparation and education), and not much of a practical aspect. Some schools will offer placements and then a semester of student teaching (education field) and that is significantly better than the Nazarene tradition of “supervised” ministry experience that can really be a checkbox if done poorly.
Reminds me of teaching music at the Children’s Resource Center for in house patients as opposed to simply learning about patients.

Quote
Disability was specifically addressed outside of course work less extensively (see Table 2). For example, more than one third (37.7%) of schools had not offered fieldwork specifically focused on disability during the past three years, while 80.0 percent of schools had not offered student publications specifically focused on disability in the past three years. When disability-focused activities were offered, they largely occurred infrequently or occasionally.
