Student Ideological Guiding Principles
Developmental
Developmental
Developmental
One should be concerned with cognitive development in areas such as problem solving, grasping an understanding of your moral compass, having a conceptual understanding of where you are intending to go in life, acquire at minimum a basic level up to an exceptional level of your command of language, have basic social, personal, and emotional development, and the formulation of self-concept and identity.
This should be done while keeping in mind your personal characteristics, behaviors, and socioeconomic status.
Intentional
Developmental
Developmental
One should have a specific purpose concerning your interactions, whether it is with other students, faculty, advisors, academic units, departments, and administration.
If you don’t want unintended outcomes, this should be done through the performance of a single act, or a series of actions, all with the end or specific goals in mind. Consider these actions as performance outcomes.
These types of intentional behaviors must be thoughtful, deliberate, and goal directed.
Interventions
Developmental
Interventions
Interventions must focus on targeted areas like feelings, behaviors, attitudes, and habits, or other specific concerns. These interventions can be held either with individuals, a professor, an advisor, an academic unit, a department, or with administration. Consider whether the concern could be academic, behavioral, cognitive, environmental, or relating to policy. With interventions you must be proactive in nature and be structured.
There are many times when interventions have been reactive in nature due to certain uncontrolled and/or unforeseen situations. In all cases one must be responsive and use every opportunity to try to handle each challenge properly, but also use it as a learning opportunity. When handling situations, one should be very clear as to what you are aiming for as an outcome, and should show respect, support, and acknowledge how the intervention furthers/betters the situation in a way everyone sees value and benefit from the intervention.
