DCD01A - Foundations of Academic Advising CD 1: What is Academic Advising?

Foundations of Academic Advising CD 1: What is Academic Advising? lays the groundwork for academic advising. While the primary target audience for this first CD in the planned Foundations series is new advisors, it will be equally useful to advisors who have been working in the field but who have never had opportunity to become acquainted with the full scope of foundational advising information in a single-piece, coherent, sequenced (curriculum) format. The information presented is "generic" (applicable to any campus setting) rather than institution-type specific. This audio-visual CD will particularly appeal to anyone looking for something beyond the traditional text-only format. Ten-minute modules also make excellent tools for group professional development and discussion-starters.

Run Time:  53 minutes

This CD explains the seven most widely used advising delivery models (self-contained, faculty only, satellite, total intake, dual, split, supplementary) and discuss why they are an important consideration when assessing, evaluating or re-evaluating any advising system.

“As America’s ethnic and racial demographics continue to shift, not only on college campuses but throughout the nation, it is essential that administrators and practitioners prepare to effectively deliver cross-cultural services. Professionals of all ethnic and racial backgrounds need to gain multicultural awareness and multicultural competence” (Gilbert, 2005). This CD, along with its accompanying Pocket Guide, have been developed to assist in this process by addressing informational material, conceptual theories, and relational skills that relate to, first, development of intracultural competency, and then, by extension, to intercultural competency. Includes a series of Reflection Questions designed to assist advisors in cultural competency development.
