Overview

In these challenging times, college professionals need more strategies than ever to support students who are struggling. When it comes down to helping students succeed, campus professionals and faculty must first build trusting relationships, listen to students then empower them. The Appreciative Advising Model can provide any campus professional the coaching skills to provide the holistic support today’s students need.

Students often do not feel their voices are heard during their collegiate experience. Institutional barriers can become insurmountable for students. Appreciative Advising is a strength based approach that is both structured and flexible. The Appreciative Advising model (DISARM, DISCOVER, DREAM, DESIGN, DELIVER, DON'T SETTLE) will be covered using interactive exercises, video resources and concrete practitioner examples to enrich the learning experience. 

Attend to see how this sort of personal connection and structured support is vital for retaining students and have fun along the way! This session will be engaging, informative and fun and will contain information that can be immediately applied to your work with students.

In this informative and interactive webinar, you will:

  • Explore the Appreciative Advising Approach

  • Discuss listening and questioning skills to connect with students and build trust

  • Consider how to motivate and energize students

  • Discuss specific behaviors that correspond to each phase

  • Try out specific exercises and activities you can use with students to build a vision of their future and develop concrete goals

  • Consider best practices in meeting the diverse advising needs of your students
