Abstract:

Life Design: Advising and Coaching Students through Change, Transition, and Decision-Making
This preconference workshop aims to provide academic advisors with knowledge and practical skills to incorporate the Life Design Framework into their advising practices. This framework will assist students with decision-making processes about their future, particularly those from vulnerable populations (e.g., first-generation, Pell eligible, racial/ethnic minority). Life Design is a human-centered problem-solving methodology that provides a set of mental frameworks and mindsets students can apply to navigate the change and transition they experience throughout and after college. As academic advisors, we accept the challenge of ushering students through higher education by encouraging their development and self-efficacy to make decisions about their future. However, rarely are we given a plan to help students navigate this process. The Life Design methodology offers advisors an opportunity to teach students a methodology that helps them work through their journey, find purpose in their decision-making process, adopt a plan, and evolve into the future they desire. This pre-conference will include lecture, hands-on activities, group discussions, and reflective interactions between participants. Take aways include understanding the Life Design method and action plans for implementation. This is a high-participation workshop. |
