The Challenge
Cultivate one-to-one advising from a base of
knowledge.
![Page 7: Premise # 1 Good Advising does not just happen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816761550346895ddc37f9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Making the case for Prescriptive Advising
Burns Crookston’s “A Developmental View of Academic Advising” (1972/1994/2009) changed the landscape.
Doctor/patient metaphor “Do as I say.”
![Page 8: Premise # 1 Good Advising does not just happen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816761550346895ddc37f9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Old:advisors as disseminators of knowledge on curricular matters New: advisors as teachers, mentors, facilitators, and guides—a developmental, student-centered process
![Page 9: Premise # 1 Good Advising does not just happen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816761550346895ddc37f9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Now: Commitment to the whole student
accounting for individual differences
Quality services(Prescriptive needs get
them in the door and open conversations.)
![Page 10: Premise # 1 Good Advising does not just happen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816761550346895ddc37f9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Student expectations of advisors. And the survey says:
# 1. Respect . . . ThenKnowledgeable
approachable engaging
communicative organized
responsive professional
humorous
![Page 11: Premise # 1 Good Advising does not just happen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816761550346895ddc37f9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
In other words. . . . Do you know?
Are you there?
Do you care?
![Page 12: Premise # 1 Good Advising does not just happen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816761550346895ddc37f9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Good Academic AdvisingPromotes “learning and development in students by encouraging experiences which lead to intellectual growth, the ability to communicate effectively, appropriate career choices, leadership development, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively.”

Informational -- Do you know?
Relational -- What do you do and how do you do it?
Conceptual -- Do you understand
how you do the things you do?

What information do students need to know and when do
they need to know it?University policies and
proceduresDegree requirementsCourse catalogs and schedulesForms, forms, forms (where to
find them and when to use them)
Campus offices and services (which offices are on your speed dial list?)

4. Teaching Skills—If advising is teaching. . . .
“An excellent advisor does the same for the
student’s entire curriculum that the
excellent teacher does for one course.”
Marc Lowenstein 2006

1. The CurriculumAn Advising Curriculum involves
understanding:The institution’s mission and
valuesThe culture and expectations of
the institutionVarious advising approaches
We pause here for a shameless endorsement of Scenes for Learning and
Reflection and the forthcoming Academic Advising Approaches book

PreparationHow can we be proactive in
getting students into our offices? Scheduling meetings?
What advance information can you/ should you gather on students?
Designate a clear, uninterrupted time
Students need to be active participants
![Page 26: Premise # 1 Good Advising does not just happen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816761550346895ddc37f9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
FacilitationEstablish rapportWhy is the student here?What do we need to
accomplish today?What sort of assistance might
I offer?How did the meeting go?Do we need to follow up with
each other?

DocumentationTake good notesRecord every advising session
—how do you do it?Maintain confidentiality and
sensitivity to FERPA imperatives
How do advising notes remain secure?
Do students have access to your session reports?

Practical Tips for making the most of your time with students
Use students’ names when addressing them.
“A man’s name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language.”
Dale Carnegie
![Page 31: Premise # 1 Good Advising does not just happen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816761550346895ddc37f9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
It’s Not About You
Avoid using the first person singular. Ask students to articulate their own thoughts.
![Page 32: Premise # 1 Good Advising does not just happen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816761550346895ddc37f9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Be Available
![Page 33: Premise # 1 Good Advising does not just happen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816761550346895ddc37f9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Respect Students’ Opinions
Confirm their worth“The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.”
William James
![Page 34: Premise # 1 Good Advising does not just happen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816761550346895ddc37f9/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Regard your students as individuals who are experts in areas in which you may know
little.
“Every man I meet is in some way my superior; and in that I can learn of him.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
![Page 35: Premise # 1 Good Advising does not just happen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816761550346895ddc37f9/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Listen carefully—verbally and nonverbally. Half the time, what you hear is not exactly
what students really mean.
“That is not what I meant; that is not it at all.” T.S. Eliot
![Page 36: Premise # 1 Good Advising does not just happen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816761550346895ddc37f9/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Ask Why(and What and How)
![Page 37: Premise # 1 Good Advising does not just happen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816761550346895ddc37f9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Be enthusiastic in your dealings with students—enthusiasm is contagious.
“There is a real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment…. It gives warmth and good feeling to all your personal relationships.”
![Page 38: Premise # 1 Good Advising does not just happen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816761550346895ddc37f9/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Clarify the goals or objectives for each advising meeting. Is today’s goal to solve a problem or to
discuss an issue?
“You’ve got goals, you’ve got commitments, you’ve got aspirations and inspirations…. But have you got a place to sit?”
![Page 39: Premise # 1 Good Advising does not just happen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816761550346895ddc37f9/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
“Deliberating is not delaying”Ecclesiastes
Allow for moments of silence

Never Guess -- eliminate theTemple runaround.

Document all advising contacts
Do it for your students and yourself
![Page 42: Premise # 1 Good Advising does not just happen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816761550346895ddc37f9/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Students don’t learn more when you’re perfect. They learn more when you’re human and you make your classroom—and your advising appointments—a place where it is safe to ask questions and discuss issues.
![Page 44: Premise # 1 Good Advising does not just happen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816761550346895ddc37f9/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
