Developing a Comprehensive Proactive Advising Plan to Support Equity (Webinar)
February 9th, 2023 | 2:00 p.m. ET - 3:15 p.m. ET | $395
Gain strategies to engage and direct ALL students on a path to success by building out your intrusive/proactive advising plan.
Why Is This Topic Important?
Too many campuses lack a comprehensive advising approach based on equitable practices. Building a comprehensive advising plan using “proactive advising” (also called “intrusive advising”) ensures all students receive equitable access to quality academic advising. A proactive advising plan also assesses and adjusts academic policies and systems to support equitable campus practices and student success.
Who Should Attend?
This program is appropriate for any campus professional or faculty member looking to create a proactive advising plan for their students, including:
Assistant Directors and Directors of Academic Advising
Academic and Faculty Advisors
Academic Deans, Provosts and Vice Presidents who oversee Advising and/or Student Success Initiatives
Overview
Too often, struggling students do not see an advisor until after it’s too late to do anything more than drop or fail a class. Proactive advising, also known as intrusive advising, anticipates student needs and reaches out to individuals before students experience serious academic distress. Though schools often use some proactive advising strategies for select student cohorts, many do not use a large-scale approach that equitably supports ALL students.
A comprehensive proactive advising plan goes beyond well-timed communications and outreach to select students or student cohorts. An equitable plan also anticipates and mitigates institutional barriers to student success. To ensure equitable advising practices and bolster ALL STUDENTS’ SUCCESS, an advising plan provides a variety of advising strategies aimed at meeting students’ many individual needs.
In this informative and interactive webinar, you will walk through key components of developing a successful and comprehensive proactive advising plan with institutional examples from Florida Atlantic University. This webinar will help you:
Understand how proactive/inclusive advising supports equity
Identify student cohorts who need more support
Anticipate barriers to student success
Draw on data to inform your practice
Make the most of critical timing in your outreach points
Further engage students through effective meetings, coaching and technology
