CAREER COUNSELING ACROSS THE LIFE Span

I’m working on a Psychology exercise and need support.

Career Counseling Across the Life Span

For this discussion, synthesize your understanding of career counseling as an integral part of human development. From the perspective of your specialization, how does the developmental life span perspective influence career and educational planning, placement, and evaluation?

Discuss the influence of career counseling when working with children (elementary school) and adolescents (secondary). Identify models that would be appropriate for children and adolescents in the school setting, including identity models such as Erik Erikson.

Response Guidelines

Respond to at least two of your peers, commenting on the effectiveness with which your peer addressed each developmental stage, identifying the needs of elementary and secondary students.
