Enhancing Academic advising Programs with academic coaching

June 15th, 2023 | 2:00 p.m. EST - 3:15 p.m. EST | $395

Best practices for integrating academic coaching into your academic advising program.


Why Academic Coaching?

Academic Coaching provides proactive and consistent support for students. The coaching process builds a relationship between student and coach, creating a sense of belonging on campus for all students, though academic coaching can be especially impactful for at-risk student populations.

Intended Audience

This program is ideal for academic advisors and academic support professionals who are looking to strategically implement or improve an academic coaching program to increase college student success, including

  • Directors of Academic Advising

  • Academic Advisors

  • TRIO & Student Support Services Staff

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 speakers will explore this support range 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 presenters 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.

Join the expert facilitators to:

  • Briefly explore the Appreciative Coaching Framework

  • Understand the difference and similarities between academic advising and coaching

  • Leverage both within your advising model to best support students

  • Identify and prioritizing specific student populations for academic coaching

  • Consider how to maximize campus partnerships to increase the odds of success for at-risk students
