Using Career Development to Transform a School’s Culture
Presented by: Dr. Cal Crow
The NCDA 2017 Webinar series:
Using Career Development to Transform a School’s Culture
Presented by: Dr. Cal Crow
Center for Learning Connections
Edmonds Community College, Lynnwood, WA
Wednesday, January 18, 2017
For years NCDA has been working to get career development infused into the K-12 academic curriculum, with mixed results. It’s time to reverse the order. The current education system is not designed for student success. Giving it a career development focus will change that. Imagine a school system organized around the strengths, skills, talents, interests and dreams of students. Rather than getting through the curriculum, the goal is on getting through to students. The curriculum is a vehicle to help make this occur, but is not an end in itself. Its purpose is to ensure that every student acquires knowledge and skill sets that will lead to a successful future.
This webinar will demonstrate ways to transform and design a new approach to career development delivery in K-12. NCDA School Career Counselor and Specialist Constituency will provide online, follow-up discussion forums to promote member networking and sharing of effective practices.
Viewers of the webinar are invited to leave Comments in the Discussion Forum (click here) to continue the dialog. (Members of the SCCS Constituency group will be monitoring and responding to all Comments.)
About Dr. Crow:
Cal Crow is the founder and director of the Center for Efficacy and Resiliency at Edmonds Community College in Lynnwood, Washington. He has been a teacher, counselor, counselor educator, consultant and trainer. He is currently working to help create success cultures in education and corrections systems.

Reframing Career to Care
-- presented by Edward Colozzi
The traditional way most people view career relates to paid work, and this narrow focus dilutes efforts to make effective sustaining interventions in peoples’ lives. In recognition of purpose, personal agency, and spirituality in career construction, participants are introduced to Depth-Oriented Values Extraction (DOVE) and review several specific interventions designed to move beyond objective assessment and toward the client’s inner “true self”.
Webinar attendees will leave this session with 1) A brief overview of the career-life paradigm that informs the DOVE process and fundamentals, 2) the recently modified wellness paradigm that re-frames career to giving and/or receiving CARE across all career-life roles, including the addition of a new life role that affects virtually every individual, and 3) a PDF that provides a succinct summary of the paradigms, relevant references, Internet resources and suggested tips for career services providers working in a variety of K-12, college and agency settings, including multi-cultural clients and students.

Winnowing Career Assessments in the Information Age: Career Assessment Instruments, the Internet, Social Justice, and Professionally Conscientious Practice
Presented by Dr. Chris Wood
Winnowing Career Assessments in the Information Age:
Career Assessment Instruments, the Internet, Social Justice, and Professionally Conscientious Practice
The internet provides increased access to career information and career assessment instruments. Such access affords more people than ever before with career development resources. Moreover this increased access via the internet is a unique opportunity for career counselors and other career development helping professionals to be agents of social justice in helping traditionally marginalized groups of society utilize such interventions. However, there is little to guide the career counselor and consumer in discerning the quality of career assessment instruments including often even the purpose and/or ‘origin’ of such career assessments.
This webinar discusses this tension among increased access, consumer protection, and quality control and presents resources for professionals to use in evaluating career assessment instruments.
Learning Objectives:
-
Understand the use of career assessments as a social justice issue.
-
Become aware of the advantages and dangers of increased availability of career assessments (via the internet/world wide web) in the information age.
-
Learn several resources for discovering and evaluating career assessment instruments.
