Goal:

The

characteris8c
of
our
model
is
our
focus
on
the
process
of
student
development
in
rela8on
to
Banduras
(1997)
self-ecacy
model.
Student
Development
New
learning
is
stressful!
It
is
dicult
to
prepare
for
the
predictable
disrup8ons
in
ones
sense
of
self
that
come
with
the
territory
of
real
growth,
change,
and
development.
The
college
experience
is
extremely
challenging
even
under
the
best
of
circumstances.

We
want

the
required
skills
to

successful
in
college

beyond.
Raising

Self-Ecacy
Model
It
is
helpful
to
frame
this
process
from
a
theore8cal
context.
Students:
Provides
a
context
to
process
their
experiences
in
a
more
meaningful
way.
Faculty:
Provides
structure
to
guide
interac8ons
with
students
throughout
the
internship
experience.

many
classes
