Faculty
members have an essential and vital role in the academic advising
experiences of students on most campuses. Data in the NACADA 2004
publication, The Status of Academic Advising, indicate
that over 80% of 4-year institutions, almost 50% of public 2-year
colleges and 80% of private 2 year institutions, utilize models
which rely on faculty involvement in academic advising.
This two day
seminar will provide participants with the opportunity to gain
essential insights on fostering collaboration among those responsible
for advising. In addition, faculty participants will engage
in activities to strengthen their advising skills.
There
will be plenary sessions during which Seminar leaders will address
topics in common to all participants. Following these sessions,
participants will work in small groups based on institutional
type - two-year college, private colleges, and public universities.
In these small groups, participants will work with seminar leaders
to develop plans for their campuses that focus on the plenary
topic sessions. Within each small group, a further break down
will be done based on faculty advisors, administrators, and others
who work with faculty. The last afternoon the small groups will
work on pulling all strategies together to develop a full plan
of action for implementation on their campus for enhancing faculty
advising.
The
seminar will provide opportunities to:
Areas
of study will center around:
- Definition and Philosophy of Advising;
Theoretical Foundation; Components of Advising including Teaching/Learning
of Advising and Advising Syllabus as well as Roles and Responsibilities
of Faculty Advisors
- Training and Development Issues -
including motivational issues
- Faculty Rewards and Recognition/Evaluation
of Faculty Advising and Faculty Advisors
