NACADA Webinar: Academic Advising and Anger: Keeping Advisors and Students Safe
This webinar will assist viewers in developing Academic Advising Core Competencies from both the Informational and Relational components. For example, advisers need to know, understand, and have a plan to implement the rules, procedures, and regulations of their institutions when it comes to advisor and student safety (I-3). Being aware of the behavioral proclivities of students and issues that may lead to closed or open aggression involves core competencies I-5 (knowledge of the characteristics, needs, and experiences of major and emerging student populations), as well as R-6 (the ability to facilitate problem solving, decision-making, meaning-making, planning, and goal setting). The skills an advisor may need in order to calm a student and/or defuse an angry student may fall within the scope of R-2 (the ability to create rapport and build academic advising relationships), R-3 (the ability to communicate in an inclusive and respectful manner), and/or R-4 (the ability to plan and conduct successful advising interactions).
