Personal Philosophy of Advising

A key Relational competency for all advisors is the ability to "articulate a personal philosophy of academic advising" (NACADA, 2017). Since all advisors bring their personal assumptions, values, and beliefs about students, higher education, and student success with them when meeting with students (Beres et al, 2013), it is important to go through the process of reflecting on these beliefs and values and to recognize the role they play in one's advising practice.

Writing a statement of advising philosophy is an important professional development experience and can be a source of inspiration, consistency, and clarity for one's practice. And, since our personal philosophies change as we grow personally and professionally, it is a process that should be renewed regularly.

Please join the ATA for a two-part series with the goal of completing your PPA for use in your advising practice. Session dates are June 15 and August 3 from 2 to 3 p.m. via Zoom.
