Faculty Advising Academy Offers ‘Advising is Teaching’ Workshop

Regardless of how long they’ve been teaching, all faculty members who are responsible for advising and mentoring students, whether formally or informally, can learn something from the College of Charleston Faculty Advising Academy.

That’s why all faculty members are encouraged to sign up for the Faculty Advising Academy’s upcoming faculty workshop, Advising is Teaching: Advising 101, being held in room 227 of the Addlestone Library on Thursday, Oct. 21, 2021, from 3:30 to 5 p.m.

This session will focus on effective advising strategies using the NACADA core competencies and values of academic advising, as well as utilizing available technology. This session will provide ideas for transferring sound teaching concepts from classroom instruction to individual advising sessions with students and ways to use technology effectively and efficiently.

All Faculty Advising Academy participants are automatically enrolled in the Academic Advising and Planning Center’s OAKS Faculty Development Advising module that houses a plethora of advising related information ranging from advising theory and critical articles to information about advising related resources and referral points. OAKS participants can spend as much time as they like in the module and may use it as an easily accessible tool for their advising appointments.
