CAS ~ Habley

Advising bears the distinction of being the only structured activity on campus in which all students have the opportunity for on-going, one-to-one interaction with a concerned representative of the institution, and this fact is a source of its tremendous potential today (NACADA, 2005).

This coupled with increasing educational options, has brought pressure to make the student educational experiences as meaningful as possible.

Concept of Academic Advising

Academic advising, based in the teaching and learning mission of higher education,is a series of intentional interactions with a curriculum, a pedagogy, and a set of student learning outcomes.

Academic advising synthesizes and contextualizes students’ educational experiences within the frameworks of their aspirations, abilities and lives to extend learning beyond campus boundaries and timeframes.

Define…

“Academic advisors help students become members of their higher education community, think critically about their roles and responsibilities as students, and prepare to be educated citizens of a democratic society and global community.”

“Academic advising - done well- assists students in interpreting their values, beliefs, and experiences, so, unlike Alice, they get somewhere they want to go.”

Advising & Leading

Josephson (1988) argues that ethical academic advising is based on similar relationships characterized by trust, worthy objectives and student development (as cited by Frank in Gordon, 2000). The Core Values of NACADA as cited by Creamer in Gordon (2000) relate to all three of these points. The Core Values stress the purpose of academic advising, which is student learning and personal development.

The focus of advising is the student as a whole, encompassing the students educational life as well as future plans after graduation (Creamer, 2000).

Nutt argues that academic advising at its very best is a supportive and interactive relationship between students and advisors built on shared communication (Nutt in Gordon, 2000).

WCCC Process Model for Student Completion

PURPOSE: To implement an admissions, intake, advising and registration process that provides effective interventions for students with diverse goals and needs in order to facilitate desired outcomes for degree completion, transfer and/or job placement. 

Stage 1: Pre-Degree Status  

Cohort: All new credit students who intend to pursue a degree, diploma or certificate

Goal: Registration yield ratio of 90% of Admitted students

Providers: SSSA’s Process: All new degree, diploma, and certificate

students (full and part time) will be admitted as pre-degree students. For example, a student who intends to major in Accounting will be coded as Pre-Accounting, etc. New students are assigned for placement testing and their initial registration to the SSSA’s. The SSSA’s do a brief “mini-orientation” that covers essential information to get started, administers placement tests, and registers students for initial semester. Registrations should focus on developmental courses if required, Gatekeeper, general education requirements, and first semester courses of student’s intended major. Registrations for certificate students should focus on first semester courses for the certificate at this stage. The goal for the SSSA’s is limited and focused upon getting new students tested, registered and ready to start classes.

Process Model for Student Completion

Stage 2: Advancing to Degree Status

 

Cohort: All pre-degree students, after initial semester, with less than 12 credits (excluding developmental courses)

Goal: To advance 80% of pre-degree students to degree status. Degree Status: Students who have completed all required developmental courses, completed at least 12 credits, with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0, and have been accepted into a degree, certificate or diploma program.

Providers: Counselors Process: After initial registration, students are assigned

to a counselor. Some consideration may be given to counselors’ area of specialty, such as transfer, but all counselors should be assigned students from any major. The counselors’ goal is to facilitate the student achieving degree status. Counselors will need to employ multi-faceted personal and/or group interventions. Some will need assistance to achieve a satisfactory GPA, others will need guidance regarding transfer options, some will need to learn methods of test-taking and study skills. Still others will need career exploration. This stage is an opportunity to focus our counseling resources to enable students to get beyond this critical stage.

Note: Students who are admitted to Nursing or other health programs with stipulated requirements, achieve degree status upon their admission to the program.

Process Model for Student Completion

Stage 3: Degree Status   Cohort: All students who have achieved degree status in

a particular major. Goal: Advance 90% of cohort to completion of degree,

diploma, certificate, or transfer out. Providers: Faculty Advisors Process: Upon admittance to degree status, student is

assigned a faculty advisor in the student’s major or area of concentration. At this stage, the student’s probability of successful completion is much improved. The faculty/student advising relationship should focus upon completing major and degree requirements, exploring career options, and selecting courses that most enable student to achieve career goals. This should be an opportunity for the student to establish a meaningful mentor relationship with a faculty advisor and through that relationship become more fully engaged with the structure and concepts of the major beyond satisfaction of course requirements.

COMPLETION TARGET: If goals at each stage are met, the entering cohort will obtain a completion rate (degree, diploma, certificate or transfer out) of 65%. This would triple the existing completion rate.

2003 NACADA Certification Task Force

Recommends that advisor training should address three areas:

Conceptual: What concepts like developmental advising do advisors need to know?

Informational:   What do advisors need to know about in-house programs and policies.

Relational: What skills do advisors need to relate effectively with their advisees? (p. 293)

Advising Learning Outcomes

However, a representative sample of learning outcomes for advising indicates that students will

craft a coherent educational plan based on assessment of abilities, aspirations, interests,

and values; use complex information from various sources to set goals, reach

decisions, and achieve those goals; assume responsibility for meeting academic program requirements; articulate the meaning of higher education and the intent of the

institution’s curriculum; cultivate the intellectual habits that lead to a lifetime of learning;

and behave as citizens who engage in the wider world around them

(NACADA, 2006, para. 10).

And yet another way to relate to students

Mindfulness is Excellent Education

William James, the father of modern psychology, had this to say: And the faculty of voluntarily bringing back a wandering attention over and over again is the very root of judgment, character, and will. No one is compos sui (competent) if he have it not. An education which should improve this faculty would be the education par excellence

Trying a Short Mindfulness MeditationYour capacity to be mindful is most powerfully developed through mindfulness meditation. One of the most popular mindfulness meditations is mindfulness of breath. This involves being mindfully aware of your breath. Follow these steps to try mindfulness meditation out for yourself:1.Be aware of the sense of your own breathing. You don’t need to change

the rate of your breath. Just feel the physical sensation of your breath entering and leaving the body.

2.You can feel the breath in the nose, the throat, the chest or down in your belly. If possible, try and feel the breath in the belly as it’s more grounding and is more likely to make you feel relaxed.

3.When your mind wonders off into thoughts, bring your attention back. It is the nature of thoughts to take your attention away from whatever you want to focus on, and into thoughts about the past or future, worries or dreams. Don’t worry about it.

4.As soon as you realise that you’ve been thinking about something else, notice what you were thinking about, and gently guide your attention back to your breath. You don’t need to criticise yourself.

That’s it. Mindfulness of breath is as simple as that. Bring a sense of the mindful attitudes to your experience such as curiosity, kindness and acceptance. You can do this exercise for as short as a minute, or as long as an hour.

Scoring Interpretation

This self-assessment questionnaire is designed to measure your authentic leadership by assessing four components of the process: self-awareness, internalized moral perspective, balanced processing, and relational transparency. By comparing your scores on each of these components, you can determine which are your stronger and which are your weaker components in each category. You can interpret your authentic leadership scores using the following guideline: high = 16–20 and low = 15 and below. Scores in the upper range indicate stronger authentic leadership, whereas scores in the lower range indicate weaker authentic leadership.
