Part 1
The Developmental Intervention Model
Developmental interventions are targeted at either the individual or the institution, they are either planned or responsive, and the approach used is either explicit or implicit. This model focuses on the attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors or concerns of students(Evens, Forney, Guido, Patton, and Renn, 2010). This model covers the most important aspects of assisting students in meeting their goals. You start by getting to know the student then you focus on their concerns. The main objective of student affair professionals is to help students to reach their goal and these are the most important aspects to assure student success.

Part 2
The Theory of Model of Multiple Dimensions of Identity
The Department of Students is responsible for educating students on how to navigate and understand themselves during their collegiate experience. The purpose of this training is to build an understanding for our students that many identities hold different values and authority than others by in our society. However, a person's Social identity influences how a student views themselves, interact with others, and make decisions on their life choices. The Theory of Model of Multiple Dimensions of Identity offers a direct correlation to how intersecting identity traits surrounds the core identity that the individual represents (Jones & McEwen, 2000). This model stresses that fact that identity is both internally constructed by the person and externally constructed by outside people. This model offers advisor key approaches on how to support students are they formulate into their true self.
