Abstract

Louisiana’s Student College & Career Readiness Act (SCCRA) has significant influence on the career development of the state’s public school students. Counselors in Louisiana working with clients in the area of career counseling and who have an awareness of James Marcia’s identity development statuses could facilitate the career development of those clients. This article presents: the background of both SCCRA and James Marcia’s identity development statuses; the pilot study of a dissertation research project; and implications and considerations for counselors in Louisiana.
