#TWD…Another One Down

**SPOILER ALERT** I’m about to reveal scenes from the season premier episode of The Walking Dead, Season 7 Le sigh…another one down. One less Asian in pop culture. Watching The Walking Dead is Michael, my partner, and my Sunday evening ritual. This past Sunday was no different for the Season 7 Premier. And boy was

#ATTI80: The Final Theory

WOW! Crazy to think that #ATTI80 is now over!!! Over the past 80 days I’ve broken down 8 theories, gone through 13 dry erase markers, 1 container of Clorox wipes, utilized 2 whiteboards and, to close us out, have created 1 theory. Yes, I’ve created theory, so let those pigs fly! Now, this has been percolating in

#ATTI80: Erikson

So today I thought I’d draw out Erikson. His identity development theory has popped up quite often lately in the texts I have been reading and a few conversations, so figured why not put it to the whiteboard? 🙂 As always, a bit of background! Erikson is one of the most cited psychologists of the

#ATTI80: Kim

So, I decided to deconstruct Kim’s Asian American Identity Development Theory. For several reasons, I debated on whether to do this one. But ultimately I did and in a way it was nice to be reassured of my own personal journey. So as always some history. Jean Kim received her Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral degrees from

#ATTI80: Schlossberg

Hello! After coming off of a full week of celebrating the BFF’s wedding, we return to another edition of #ATTI80! This week we’re doodling about Schlossberg’s Transition Theory! I thought about it after reading this great #SAChat post: Schloss It Out! Putting Theory into Personal Practice for New #SACareer Pros. So to start, as always, some

#ATTI80: Chickering

We all know Chickering. It’s probably one of the first theories we all learn and want to use in grad school. So I figured it was time that I threw him up on my whiteboard and see how I visually break it down. But as always, let’s start with a little background. 🙂 Chickering first

#ATTI80: Baxter Magolda

Well, last week was quite an emotional and busy week, so I had to take a break from the #ATTI80 Journey to process Orlando and also celebrate my fraternity brother’s wedding. However, I’m back at it, and this week we have the ever fabulous Theory of Self Authorship by Marcia Baxter Magolda! So as it is

#ATTI80: Astin

Well folks, today I thought I’d tackle a theory I utilize more frequently, Astin’s Theory of Student Involvement. Now, this is probably the first theory I ever learned and used as a Student Affairs professional, and as you know you always remember the first. However, it was interesting to go through this theory today. But

#ATTI80: Bronfenbrenner

So to continue the theory travels I checked out Bronfenbrenner this week.Now, as I mentioned in the kickoff post of the #ATTI80 Project, this is just my personal analysis and application of theory for me, and I believe that we each should do theory and application as we see and understand it best. But hopefully it helps

Around the Theory in 80 Days (#ATTI80)

So I’ve struggled with theory. That’s no secret. But a goal for this summer is to try to get beyond my struggle. So I’m going to share my processing of theory with you. Now, my plan is for every couple of days to take a theory, a model, a concept, etc. that I believe will help
