Frameworks for Developing Student Affairs Competence

While many associations in student affairs have identified core competencies (e.g. AFA, ACUI), I will use the ACPA and NASPA Core Competencies for framing posts in this blog. I will occasionally use CAS Standards as well as I find them really cool!

Here are links for these competencies:

ACPA and NASPA: http://www.naspa.org/programs/prodev/Professional_Competencies.pdf

CAS (General Standards, as each functional area has additional standards specific to their function): http://www.cas.edu/index.php/cas-general-standards/

Welcome!

Thanks for visiting the blog that I’ll author to support professional development of student affairs professionals. I am maintaining this blog as a part of my responsibilities to support Division of Student Affairs staff at the University of Memphis in their professional development. I encourage staff to peruse postings, which will occur weekly and typically be kept to 200 words. I hope this blog helps professionals to explore issues of importance to them and help them develop the skills and the confidence to enact student affairs work of the highest caliber.
