Overview:

wbatsch — 2023-12-01 18:24:28 UTC

We all practice Appreciative Advising, but Intrusive Advising (also known as Proactive Advising) is another research-based modality of academic advising. For this month's AARDVARK we will explore the framework of IA and review how it may be suitable for some our students/situations.

Feel free to contribute and leave comments!

Has our team already been implementing IA techniques?

Do you have any success stories with executing an IA approach?

In what scenarios might you want to begin pivoting from AA to IA?

When might you be hesitant to engage in IA with students?

Overview

Generation P is in reference to the now college-aged students that were largely influenced by the pandemic and its array of implications inside-and-outside of the educational setting.

Please read at least 2/3 of the articles for adequate preparation. Post any additional information if independent research is done :)

Overarching question: Is our First Year Advising team equipped to support the researched insights across Generation P?

Reflection Questions (Zoom)

wbatsch — 2024-03-15 15:46:46 UTC

What are some pitfalls or assumptions we naturally encounter or are prone to come up against with Gen P?

What are some intentional conversations we can engage in during discovery appointments to recognize/support the researched insights across Generation P?

How do we meet Gen P "where they are at" / "adapt to their preferences" while at the same time we are being asked to best prepare them for a successful FYA to college advising transition? What does this bridge look like?

Are there any practices you/we have put in place that's been effective with Gen P? Are there any that have been regarded as ineffective?

Overview

We often see parents/supporters in our world of academic advising. How do we feel and think about their inclusion? How does it impact the student? How does it impact our advisee-advisor relationship? What boundaries are at play or should be considered?

Thanks Allison for the articles!!!

Reflection Questions (Zoom)

The first article articulates three guidelines:

Generally, parents should not join advising meetings.
Although not encouraged, parents may join up to one advising meeting.
Advisers should never meet with parents without the student present.

Are these guidelines a solid framework to follow? Why or why not?

-------

A quote from the second article: "Advisers might ask, “How can you assist your child to achieve their biggest dream? What role will you play?"

How comfortable do you feel asking a question like this during an appointment? Have you tried? Thoughts?
