July 18, 2013 from 3pm to 4:30pm
In ACT’s most recent national survey of training for all types of advisors, training was rated as one of the least effective components of campus advising programs. Training for staff advisors was found to be lacking in both conceptual understanding and relational skills. Brown (2008) found that most faculty advisors believed that they had inadequate training and preparation before beginning to advise.Effective academic advising is dependent on three critical components: comprehensive…See More

Thanks for the quick response. I'm not a high school but a TRiO Upward Bound program. I won't mind sponsorship as long as it is age appropriate and no tobacco, alchohl, etc ads. My program is in four Nebraska high schools. I would be interested in free resources and webinars that I can use in groups. I never have all the students together in one place. For example, the webinar I'm asking about I am thinking of using during our summer program which wll be held June-July. kr
