In December 2017, members of NACADA’s Professional Development Committee (PDC), led by Chair Teri Farr, presented Building Advisor Competency: Introduction to the NACADA Academic Advising Core Competencies Model, giving a first look at the association’s newly debuted Core Competencies Model in the virtual environment. They shared some of their experiences with the model’s development process, the thoughts underlying its framework and core competency areas, and the ongoing project of resource identification and development. They also discussed the creation of the first edition of the NACADA Academic Advising Core Competencies Guide, which had debuted at the October 2017 Annual Conference.

In addition to this work, over the next two years PDC members developed the Core Competencies Resource Repository, a free, open-access listing of resources to assist with competency building that is available to all academic advising professionals.

In the five years since the Core Competencies Model was introduced, additional webinars have been devoted to assisting advising professionals with their own individual competency as well as incorporating the competencies into the work of advising programs. Among these are:

• Building Advisor Competency: Conceptual Understanding Component 
• Building Advisor Competency: Informational Knowledge Component 
• Building Advisor Competency: Relational Skills Component 
• Using the Academic Advising Core Competencies Model to Create an Action Plan for Professional Growth and Development
• Developing an Advisor Training Program Based on the NACADA Core Competencies Model 
• Scholarly Advising and the NACADA Core Competencies: Practical Frameworks for Discussion, Implementation, and Inquiry

During the 2020-2022 term of PDC Chair Barbara Smith, committee members have overseen the review/update of the first edition of the NACADA Academic Advising Core Competencies Guide, and the second edition is on schedule to be debuted with this webinar.

In this PDC sponsored and organized event, we will celebrate the five-year anniversary of NACADA Academic Advising Core Competencies Model by hearing from NACADA member advising professionals who have incorporated the competencies into their work. Join us to hear their stories of how the Core Competencies have informed and inspired their advising practice and taken them to new levels of professionalism.

ALL of the Academic Advising Core Competencies will be addressed in this presentation
