This Level II Workshop will provide advisors an introduction to one career development and one identity development theory and how to utilize these with students. The main processes involved in both are exploration and commitment. Every advisor will eventually discuss career planning with a student, so this is not just for advisors who work with deciding students; however, this is also useful for students who may need to consider alternate majors. The presenter will walk through an introduction Marcia’s Identity Status Theory and Gottfredson’s Theory of Circumscription and Compromise. Through group discussion, participants will work together to identify ways to facilitate discussion with students based on these theories. Discussion will range from how does each advisor foster exploration and commitment with students to what are some ways advisors have worked with students who are inflexible with their major choice, yet should consider alternate majors. There will be scenarios for applied practice. The presenter will also discuss potential barriers in the developmental process, how to work through these barriers, and understand the risks associated with each phase of these developmental theories. There will be a discussion on how to apply these theories to students from various cultures.
