To: Advising Education Majors
Commission Members
From: Lee Kem, Chair
Dear ADVISING
EDUCATION MAJORS Commission members:
The deadline for submitting proposals for the 2007
NACADA Annual Conference in Baltimore is February
10! Here's the link to the web page for
the annual Conference — www.nacada.ksu.edu/NationalConf/2007/index.htm.
Below are some ideas for programs just to get the creativity
flowing. The ideas below are not to be anything
more than brainstorming — please ignore if you have already
submitted a proposal on a different topic. The conference theme for
this year is "Advisors
as Navigators: From
Orientation to Graduation and Beyond!
Brainstorming
ideas:
- Advising
101
— There is always a need for a program that offers a solid
primer on issues faced by education majors today. It can include
definitions, important issues, terms, and good advising strategies.
- Training
and Development — Discuss how
your office or campus create and maintain educational programming
on advising issues. Find two or three colleagues at other campuses
and create a panel to discuss the importance of ongoing programming
and the best practices at each institution.
- Best
Practices & Exemplary Programs —
Do you have an outstanding program on your campus that does terrific
work on behalf of education majors? Consider doing a presentation
on that program and nominating it for a NACADA program award (nominations
due March 5)!
- Involvement
in NACADA at the local, state, regional and national level
— How have you negotiated your NACADA journey? What's in
your advisor toolkit that might help a new NACADA member navigate
more successfully? What do advisors need to know to serve students?
- Advising
first-year education students —
What are the critical issues facing first-year students? How do
they navigate campus culture, politics, classes, and climate to
emerge "ship shape" into their sophomore year?
- Advising
second-year education students —
What are the critical issues facing sophomores? What can we do
to contribute to the retention of students?
Don't
forget to look at NACADA's advice
for successful proposals!
I look forward to seeing you
in Baltimore!
