Training Objective & Advisor Reading List

The Student Affairs department you presented in Week Two will serve as the setting for the academic advisor training session designed to focus on student individual identity development or student social identity development .

In this assignment, you will first design the training objective for the training session.

Your training objective will be based on one of two choices:

Student individual identity development

Student social identity development

Keep in mind that your training session is limited to 50 minutes, so focus the objective on one concrete issue that the academic advisors will commonly encounter in their first term of service.

Secondly, you will develop an annotated bibliography to share with the advisors prior to the training that includes at least FOUR to FIVE sources that you feel are essential as background information for the training session focus.

You will expect that the advisors have read these sources in advance of your training.

Format your annotated bibliography (including title page) using APA style and submit it for your Week Three written assignment.

If developing an annotated bibliography is new for you, see the Ashford University Writing Center for a sample annotated bibliography.

Note that the training objective you design here will be used to develop a training syllabus in Week Five that is also a component of your Final Project.
