Advising as Teaching

“The Teacher”

“Advisors need to think about advising as if they were teachers. Curricular goals must be identified and effective pedagogies must be developed if advisors hope that advisees will learn 

the values and goals educators set as the main purpose of college education.“Hemwall & Trachte (1999)

The advisors central responsibility is to facilitate learning.

1. Clear Objectives2. Standards of Performance (advising syllabus)3. Anticipatory Set (the “hook”)4. Input (information vehicle)5. Modeling 6. Check for understanding7. Guided Practice8. Closure9. Independent Practice

Appreciative Advising

“The Relationship Builder”

Rooted in Appreciative Inquiry, Appreciative Advising is a social constructivist framework centered on the intentional and collaborative practice of asking positive, open‐ended questions that help students optimize their educational experience and achieve their dreams, goals, and potentials.

Socratic Advising

“The Challenger”

“What Were They THINKING!?”A Socratic approach teaches students to become self‐aware thinkers who can analyze their own thought processes, beliefs and behaviors. Advisors teach students to use their critical thinking skills to engage in self‐reflection, make informed decisions, and resolve unexpected challenges

1. Assess Student Thinking• Naïve, Externally focused, or Self‐Aware? 

2. Socratic Questioning3. Proactive Advising 4. Challenge with SUPPORT

Strengths Based Advising

“The Motivator”

"The people who have the opportunity every day to do what they do best ‐ to act on their strengths ‐ are far more likely to flourish.” 

‐Fredrickson, 2009

Strengths are those activities at which a person excels AND that energize the person.

1. Identify Student Talents2. Affirm students’ talents and 

increase awareness of strengths3. Envision the future4. Plan specific steps for students to 

reach goals5. Apply student strengths to 

challenges

Sophomore student, Chris Harrison, comes to see you in a general advising session. Although things are going well, overall, he reveals some issues with two of his classes. One is for his major, Media Studies (“I just can’t get myself to care about it.”) The other is a writing based Gen Ed (“I don’t know what the teacher wants from me.”)You know he’s always wanted to be a TV personality, but see he received an A in his Psychology class last semester. (He has excellent Emotional Intelligence).  

APPLY YOUR APPROACH: what does the advising session with Chris look like – start to finish.

ADVISING AS TEACHING “The Teacher”

The advisor’s central responsibility is to facilitate learning.

1.  SET CLEAR OBJECTIVES : What should students be able to do, understand, and value or appreciate as a    result of your advising?  

2.  ESTABLISH STANDARDS OF PERFORMANCE : What is the student expected to know or do?? What’s on your advising syllabus? 

3.  ANTICIPATORY SET (the "hook"): relate the student experience to the objec ves of the lesson and helps students translate abstract ideas into common understandable terms. 

4.  INPUT: How do you deliver this informa on? What is your informa on vehicle? Video, podcast, lecture,   discussion. 

5.  MODELING: show the student how to apply the knowledge. Problem solve an example together. 6.  CHECK UNDERSTANDING: through ques oning 7.  GUIDED PRACTICE: provide an ac vity for students to demonstrate their mastery of the subject. You did 

it for them once through modeling – let them try it on their own. 8.  CLOSURE: help the student make sense out of what has just been taught, elimina ng confusion and       

frustra on 9. INDEPENDENT PRACTICE: provide “homework” for students to do on their own

STRENGTHS BASED ADVISING “The Mo vator”

Step 1: Iden fy Students’ Talents ‐  (What did you learn with the greatest ease in high school? What was your favorite assignment? What subjects do you enjoy studying the most?)  Step 2: Affirm Students' Talents and Increase Awareness of Strengths ‐ advisors need to help students see their tal‐ents and affirm them as assets in building a founda on for success.  ( Which of your strengths do you feel you rely on most to be successful?  What strengths are most characteris c of you? )  

Step 3: Envision the Future—discussing with students their aspira ons and how developing their talents can help them reach their goal (What do you see yourself doing as a result of being a college graduate? How would you de‐scribe the person you want to become? What is that person like? What is that person able to do? What kind of rela‐onships does that person have? What will it take for you to grow toward becoming that person?)  

 

Step 4: Plan Specific Steps for Students to Reach Goals— Set SMART goals with the student. (Select one aspect of yourself that you would like to develop while you are in college— academic, interpersonal, physi‐cal, and/or spiritual. Select one that is personally meaningful and that is key to you becoming the person you want to be as a college graduate. What campus resources or people in your life can help you reach your goal? What campus organiza ons would help you most?)   Step 5: Apply Students Strengths to Challenges—teaching students to transfer strengths from one se ng to another.  Assist students in iden fying ways to apply specific talents to new situa ons or challenges.  Apply their strengths to challenges they face. Help students iden fy the skills and knowledge they need to add to their natural talents in order to develop strengths.  

STRENGTHS BASED ADVISING “The Mo vator”

Step 1: Iden fy Students’ Talents ‐  (What did you learn with the greatest ease in high school? What was your favorite assignment? What subjects do you enjoy studying the most?)  Step 2: Affirm Students' Talents and Increase Awareness of Strengths ‐ advisors need to help students see their tal‐ents and affirm them as assets in building a founda on for success.  ( Which of your strengths do you feel you rely on most to be successful?  What strengths are most characteris c of you? )  

Step 3: Envision the Future—discussing with students their aspira ons and how developing their talents can help them reach their goal (What do you see yourself doing as a result of being a college graduate? How would you de‐scribe the person you want to become? What is that person like? What is that person able to do? What kind of rela‐onships does that person have? What will it take for you to grow toward becoming that person?)  

 

Step 4: Plan Specific Steps for Students to Reach Goals— Set SMART goals with the student. (Select one aspect of yourself that you would like to develop while you are in college— academic, interpersonal, physi‐cal, and/or spiritual. Select one that is personally meaningful and that is key to you becoming the person you want to be as a college graduate. What campus resources or people in your life can help you reach your goal? What campus organiza ons would help you most?)   Step 5: Apply Students Strengths to Challenges—teaching students to transfer strengths from one se ng to another.  Assist students in iden fying ways to apply specific talents to new situa ons or challenges.  Apply their strengths to challenges they face. Help students iden fy the skills and knowledge they need to add to their natural talents in order to develop strengths.
