When organizations set out to develop goals and strategies, they often align to certain theories that influence and help shape the planning and implementation of new or adapted practices. Consider this scenario: you're a counselor at a high school and you've been asked to explain how your school used the theory ofself-determination to influence program development that would address privilege.

• How does the theory of self-determination connect with the concept of privilege?
• How does an organization examine theory and then make sense of it so it can be used to shape planning?
