Conceptual beliefs
• Advising must be defined broadly• Advising is a form of teaching
![Page 17: Maximizing The Impact Of Advising On Student Success Dr. Wes Habley Assistant Vice President, Strategic Partnerships ACT, Inc.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697c02c1a28abf838cd933a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Advising: A form of teaching
Teaching is an instinctual art, mindful of potential, craving of realizations, a pausing, seamless process, where one rehearses constantly while acting, sits as a spectator at a play one directs, engages every part in order to keep the choices open and the shape alive for the student, so that the student may enter in, and begin to do what the teacher has done --- make choices. A. Bartlett Giamatti, A free and ordered space: the real world of the university

Advisors teach students...
• to value the learning process• to apply decision-making strategies• to put the college experience into
perspective• to set priorities and evaluate events• to develop thinking and learning skills

Advising programs…
...promote learning and development in students by encouraging experiences which lead to intellectual growth, the ability to communicate effectively, appropriate career choices, leadership development, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively.

The Role of Advising
Advising, rather than an extension of the educator’s role is integral to it. It is teaching which stretches beyond instruction.

(past President, University of Texas)

Conceptual Beliefs
• Advising must be broadly defined• Advising is a form of teaching• There is a functional relationship between
academic advising and career/life planning
![Page 24: Maximizing The Impact Of Advising On Student Success Dr. Wes Habley Assistant Vice President, Strategic Partnerships ACT, Inc.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697c02c1a28abf838cd933a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The underlying assumption
Traditional advising for course selection and sequencing is based on the assumption that a student has made a reasoned decision and is committed to a specific academic program.
![Page 25: Maximizing The Impact Of Advising On Student Success Dr. Wes Habley Assistant Vice President, Strategic Partnerships ACT, Inc.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697c02c1a28abf838cd933a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The underlying assumption
…suggests that the role of the advisor is to ensure that a student efficiently processes through a predetermined sequence of courses to earn a particular academic credential in a specified period of time.
![Page 26: Maximizing The Impact Of Advising On Student Success Dr. Wes Habley Assistant Vice President, Strategic Partnerships ACT, Inc.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697c02c1a28abf838cd933a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The underlying assumption
IS FALSE!

The underlying assumption
• students who are willing to admit they are undecided
![Page 28: Maximizing The Impact Of Advising On Student Success Dr. Wes Habley Assistant Vice President, Strategic Partnerships ACT, Inc.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697c02c1a28abf838cd933a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The underlying assumption
• students who are willing to admit they are undecided
• students who changed their minds from application to orientation
![Page 29: Maximizing The Impact Of Advising On Student Success Dr. Wes Habley Assistant Vice President, Strategic Partnerships ACT, Inc.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697c02c1a28abf838cd933a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The underlying assumption
• students who are willing to admit they are undecided
• students who changed their minds from application to orientation
• students who will change their minds (maybe more than once)

The role of advising…
Advising should be at the core of the institution’s educational mission rather than layered on as a service.
Robert Berdahl, New Directions for Teaching and Learning

Beliefs about organization
• Academic advising is central to the delivery of services for students
• Academic advising must be a coordinated, collaborative process
![Page 71: Maximizing The Impact Of Advising On Student Success Dr. Wes Habley Assistant Vice President, Strategic Partnerships ACT, Inc.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697c02c1a28abf838cd933a/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Effective academic advising...
CANNOT BE DONE IN ISOLATION.
Advising requires coordination and collaboration among units across the campus that support and/or
provide advising services

Beliefs about organization
• Academic advising is central to the delivery of services for students
• Academic advising must be a coordinated, collaborative process
• Academic advising systems must actively reach out to students
![Page 78: Maximizing The Impact Of Advising On Student Success Dr. Wes Habley Assistant Vice President, Strategic Partnerships ACT, Inc.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697c02c1a28abf838cd933a/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Active outreach to students
Advisors should be available
at times when,
and in places where,
students make educational decisions
![Page 79: Maximizing The Impact Of Advising On Student Success Dr. Wes Habley Assistant Vice President, Strategic Partnerships ACT, Inc.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697c02c1a28abf838cd933a/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Why reach out?
• An academic advisor is unlike any role model the new student has encountered
![Page 80: Maximizing The Impact Of Advising On Student Success Dr. Wes Habley Assistant Vice President, Strategic Partnerships ACT, Inc.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697c02c1a28abf838cd933a/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Why reach out?
• An academic advisor is unlike any role model the new student has encountered
• Students receive advice from all sorts of people and much of that advice is inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriately value laden
![Page 81: Maximizing The Impact Of Advising On Student Success Dr. Wes Habley Assistant Vice President, Strategic Partnerships ACT, Inc.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697c02c1a28abf838cd933a/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Why reach out?
• The use of technology may supplant rather than support the advising process
![Page 82: Maximizing The Impact Of Advising On Student Success Dr. Wes Habley Assistant Vice President, Strategic Partnerships ACT, Inc.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697c02c1a28abf838cd933a/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Why reach out?
• The use of technology may supplant rather than support the advising process
• The first six weeks of transition are critical to the institution’s retention efforts
![Page 83: Maximizing The Impact Of Advising On Student Success Dr. Wes Habley Assistant Vice President, Strategic Partnerships ACT, Inc.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697c02c1a28abf838cd933a/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Why reach out?
• The use of technology may supplant rather than support the advising process
• The first six weeks of transition are critical to the institution’s retention efforts
• It is easier to anticipate a problem than it is to solve one
