Description
In ACT's most recent national survey of training for all types of advisors, training was rated as one of the least effective components of campus advising programs. Training for staff advisors was found to be lacking in both conceptual understanding and relational skills. And, Brown (2008) found that that most faculty advisors believed that they had inadequate training and preparation before beginning to advise.
Objectives
This session provides an overview of Conceptual, Relational, and Informational elements of comprehensive advisor development programs and considers how programs might be designed to meet the needs of advisors with differing levels of experience, willingness to participate, etc. A theoretical context will be provided, but the focus will be on concrete, tangible examples and strategies for addressing issues that can produce more effective advisor development programs and academic advisors.
Who should attend?
· Academic Affairs Administrators
