The College of St. Scholastica follows the advisement model of Appreciative Advisement (6Ds). See below how your advisement session will go:
Stages | Tools to use | Open-ended questions for advisors to ask |
---|---|---|
DISARM - Check-in Advisors will build rapport with students and create a safe working space. |
|
|
DISCOVER - Learn perspectives Advisors will ask generative, open-ended questions that help them learn about the student's strengths and abilities. |
|
|
DREAM - Ask about dreams Advisors will ask about the student's hopes and dreams for the future. |
|
|
DESIGN - Identify current and future plans Students and advisers co-create a plan for making students' dreams a reality. |
|
|
DELIVER - Encourage and support Students deliver on the plan co-created during the design phase, and advisors are available to encourage and support. |
|
|
DON'T SETTLE - Be accountable Students and advisors set their own internal bar of expectations high. |
