Institutions of higher education expect many to play an advising role including academic advisors, career advisors, faculty, and other counselors and student affairs staff, yet there is little training on how to advise. Various advising strategies exist, each of which has its own proponents.<p>This book serves as a practice-based primer for anyone in an advising role. It brings together the various advising delivery strategies into one handy location where an advisor can learn to successfully use the various approaches. The advising strategies covered include: learning-centered advising, developmental academic advising, motivational interviewing, appreciative advising, appreciative advising, strengths-based advising, self-authorship, proactive advising, Socratic advising, advising as teaching, and advising as coaching.</p><p>This book serves as the practice-based companion to <i>Academic Advising: A Comprehensive Handbook</i> (Jossey-Bass, 2008). Whereas the <i>Handbook</i> addresses the concepts advisors and advising administrators need to know in order to build a success advising program, this book explains the delivery strategies successful advisors can use to help students make the most of their college experience.</p>
