Creative activities
Founder and chair of ACES/NCDA Joint Commission on
Preparing Counselors for Career Development in the 21st
Century. Primary author of Commission’s Position Paper

BORN FREE Update
From 2005-2007 THE BORN FREE Update was planned and
implemented with two volunteers and one part-time
research assistant, an online program to archive the
original BORN FREE materials, a revised literature
review and three training packets, and to develop an
international dimension of the project. Nine original
DVDs were made from the videos, and video guides will be
on the website. About a dozen international authors,
specialists in education and counseling, were invited to
contribute 15-25 page articles on gender issues in their
culture. It is hoped that the updated and original print
and multimedia materials will be of interest to gender
development leaders across cultures, especially where
active intervention programs for gender equality are
just beginning, as well as to young educators who have
had little or no training in gender equity.
Created concept of integrative life planning (ILP)
and
book of that title identifying six critical life
tasks and using quilts as a metaphor. Concept is being
taught as a theory in some countries, and the holistic
approach has been introduced in several countries,
including Japan, Ireland, Philippines, Australia, New
Zealand, Iceland, Tasmania, South Africa, and in
counselor education programs and higher education around
the U.S. The concept is being modified and will be
rewritten. ILP has been widely presented in the U.S. and
other countries.
Created distance learning class based on integrative
life planning (ILP) for College of Continuing Education,
2003, EPSY4300 Integrative Career Life Planning,
for adult and upper level undergraduates.
