Introducing the Appreciative Advising Academy

You asked, we heard you, and here it is!!! We are thrilled to share our new professional development offering: the Appreciative Advising Academy! While the Appreciative Advising Institute, Appreciative Advising Online Course, and Appreciative Administration Online Course introduce participants to the Appreciative Advising Theory-to-Practice Framework, the purpose of the Academy is for participants to gain deeper knowledge through tangible application of the Appreciative Advising framework to a specific student population. Successful completion of the Appreciative Advising Institute, Appreciative Advising Online Course, or the Appreciative Administration Online Course is required to attend the Appreciative Advising Academy. Academy participants develop appreciative strategies, resources, and techniques to augment their support of a unique student group.

Appreciative Advising Academy: Supporting Students on Academic Probation

For the inaugural Appreciative Advising Academy, the topic will focus on applying the Appreciative Advising Theory-to-Practice Framework to supporting students on academic probation. Students on academic probation are full of potential and possess assets that can be leveraged and developed to meet their unique needs to help them succeed in college. The Academy will create a space for participants to share their expertise, cultivate learning opportunities with others, and develop a portfolio of deliverables that can be used to make an immediate positive impact in the support of students on academic probation.

Deliverables:

Participants will engage in hands-on, interactive activities within small groups led by a trained facilitator. Academy participants will create and update resources that will be compiled into an electronic portfolio to use when working with students, including (but not limited to):

• Academic Plan Tailored for Institutional Use
• Appreciative Communication and Outreach Plan
• Parallel Plan Worksheet for Students on Academic Probation
• Assessment Plan
• Intentionally Designed Curated List of Appreciative Questions and Resources to working with students on academic probation
