How can we help students optimize their educational experiences, identify strengths, and achieve their goals? This discussion will focus on the framework of Appreciative Education (also known as Appreciative Advising or Appreciative Inquiry) to unlock student potential. Utilizing positive psychology and other change methodologies, Appreciative Education has allowed educational institutions to create a culture of ongoing learning, change, and improvement. Appreciative Education can be practiced with students in academic advising, coaching, and other higher education settings using its six phases (Disarm, Discover, Dream, Design, Deliver, and Don't Settle). This session will focus on the Disarm phase.
Appreciative Education/Advising was co-founded by Jennifer L. Bloom, Ed.D., who also founded the Office of Appreciative Education at Florida Atlantic University.
