LifeMap: A Learning-Centered System for Student Success
Shugart, Sanford; Romano, Joyce C.
Community College Journal of Research & Practice, v30 n2 p141-143 Feb 2006
This article describes "LifeMap," a development advising system at Valencia Community College in Orlando, Florida. The LifeMap system focuses on career and educational planning and student/faculty/staff engagement. It integrates all college faculty, staff, and resources into a unified system to focus student attention on developing career and educational plans. The system also helps students in connecting with the resources of the college (people and programs) for assistance in completing those plans. Valencia's programs and services have been realigned to support LifeMap's 5-stage conceptual model. This model describes ideal student progression towards self-sufficiency based on selected developmental theory. A professionally developed marketing campaign promotes LifeMap to students, and all of the college's written materials have been redesigned to support LifeMap.
