Overview

This hands-on workshop provides an overview of the six phases of Appreciate Advising, an approach that provides a framework and strategies for increasing advisor and student success.

Description

Appreciative Advising harnesses the power of the organizational development theory of Appreciative Inquiry and the positive psychology literature. It is the intentional collaborative practice of asking positive, open-ended questions that help students optimize their educational experiences and achieve their dreams, goals, and potentials.

We will first define the terms academic advising and Appreciative Advising and look at the important role that advising plays in student success. The six phases of Appreciative Advising – Disarm, Discover, Dream, Design, Deliver, and Don’t Settle – will be defined. Participants will learn what each phase means and have the opportunity to learn specific techniques for implementing each of the phases.

This workshop is geared towards advisors, but instructors can also benefit from learning how to use the techniques to engage and motivate students.
