Intended Audience

Overview
Though Academic Coaching brings essential academic skills to a wide range of students, often, students and staff struggle to understand the differences and similarities between academic advising and coaching. This presentation helps to establish opportunities to leverage both to offer the most ideal support for students. This range of support can vary depending on your students’ needs and advising model—from coaching conversations that go beyond basic course selection to a distinct Academic Coaching program. The speaker will explore this range of support and provide the example of Florida Atlantic University which has integrated academic coaching in a number of ways including creating a group of advisors to specifically serve as academic coaches for at-risk students. The presenter will also discuss how to identify and prioritize specific student populations for coaching and how to maximize campus partnerships to increase the odds of success for at-risk students.
