NACADA Resources • Write down three advisor professional development needs • Share those needs

NACADA Resources “ Good advising may be the single most underestimated characteristic of a successful college experience.” Richard Light Making the Most of College ( 2001)

NACADA Resources “ Advising is viewed as a way to connect students to the campus and help them feel that someone is looking out for them.” George Kuh Student Success in College (2005)

NACADA Resources “ Advisors are interpreters who help students navigate their new world. As such, academic advisors have to make connections.” Nancy King NACADA Summer Institute on Academic Advising

NACADA Resources “Talking to an academic advisor in college significantly improved students’ chances to persist. This relationship held true across all socio-economic levels and prior achievement as well as for students in two- and four-year institutions.” Klepfer & Hull Center for Public Education, 2012, http://bit.ly/1gUiwXd

NACADA Resources “ Students who met with their college advisor in their first year at their institutions had 30 percent higher odds of completing a degree program than those who did not .” Ross & Kena (August 2012). Higher Education: Gaps in Access and Persistence Study. National Center for Education Statistics (p. 261). Retrieved from https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2012/2012046.pdf.

NACADA Resources Three components of quality advising  Informational  What advisors need to KNOW ;  Internal (campus) information  External environment  Student needs  Advisor self-knowledge (Higginson, 2000)  Relational  What advisors need to DO  The skills advisors need to possess to do their jobs effectively  Conceptual  What advisors must UNDERSTAND

NACADA Resources “Without understanding ( conceptual elements) there is no context… without information , there is no substance to advising. And without interpersonal skills ( relational ), the advisee/ advisor interaction is left to chance.” Wes Habley (2003). Advisor Training: Exemplary Practices in the Development of Advisor Skills

NACADA Resources NACADA Clearinghouse of Academic Advising Resources (think “advisor -pedia ”) • Informational resources (what advisors must KNOW ) • Relational skills (what advisors must DO ) • Conceptual (what advisors must UNDERSTAND )
