Academic Advising Syllabus: Advising as Teaching in Action - Pocket Guide #4

The contents of this Pocket Guide were adapted from the December 2006 live Webinar broadcast, Academic Advising Syllabus: Advising as Teaching in Action, presented by Karen Thurmond (University of Memphis) and Charlie Nutt (NACADA Executive Office).

Readers of this Pocket Guide will learn:

• how academic advising should be viewed as a teaching and learning process and articulated as such to the campus community
• how an advising syllabus can create the culture of "advising as teaching and learning" on campus
• how an advising syllabus provides an avenue for articulating student learning outcomes for academic advising
• how an advising syllabus is developed, and
• how an advising syllabus can be implemented on a campus

Additionally links are given to examples of advising syllabi that are utilized at institutions today. Care has been given to ensure that the information may be utilized by both 2- and 4-year institutions.

Pocket Guide #6 synthesizes material from the April 2007 Webinar presented by Tomarra Adams (University of Louisville) and Charlie Nutt (NACADA Executive Office).

Academic advising has a curriculum and pedagogy for teaching and, thus, must have clearly articulated student learning outcomes.  With this foundation, the intended outcomes for this publication are for readers to:

• learn the purposes for student learning outcomes,
• gain an understanding of the variety of student learning outcomes that must be a part of any advising program,
• learn how student learning outcomes will drive the teaching and learning experiences in the advising relationship, and
• explore the key points to consider when developing student learning outcomes for your campus.
