  1. Supporting, Transforming, Empowering and Modeling: Strategies to Strengthen STEM Advising Badura, Bebensee, Carlisle

  2. STEM at South Dakota State University • Midsized four-year public university • Approximately 12,000 undergraduates total • Agricultural & Biological Sciences • Arts and Sciences • Education & Human Sciences • Engineering

  3. STEM at South Dakota State University • Biological & Chemical Sciences • Animal, plant, and food sciences • Engineering & Technology • Earth, Space, & Climate • Environmental Science & Alternative Energy

  4. STEM at South Dakota State University • Groupings taken from 4-H STEM initiative • Extension office on main Brookings campus and Sioux Falls campus

  5. STEM at South Dakota State University • ACE Camp • Sponsored by NASA, this 4-day camp provides high-school students with an early start on aviation and aerospace careers • 2 hours of flight training • Jackrabbit Best Robotics • Ready SET-Go! Camp • Encourage female students to pursue STEM

  6. STEM and Engagement • Between 2008 and 2018, STEM job growth will almost double non-STEM job growth • STEM is second only to health care as a job growth sector • STEM workers earn about 26% more thannon-STEM workers

  7. STEM and Engagement • 40% of first-year STEM students change programs or quit higher education • “The math-science death march” • Students experience “Weed-out” classes • Classes Tend to focus on theory over hands-on application • Significant shift from their previous engagementwith STEM

  8. Designing for the future • Appreciative Advising can be used to reignite interest in and passion for STEM

  9. Designing for the future • Appreciative Advising can be the STEAM to power interest DVISING

  10. The Appreciative Mindset • “The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones who care.” – Anonymous • Deficit-based thinking vs. the appreciative mindset

  11. Definition of Appreciative Advising • “Appreciative advising is the intentional collaborative practice of asking positive, open-ended questions that help students optimize their educational experiences and achieve their dreams, goals, and potentials.” Bloom, J. L., Hutson, B. L., & He, Y. (2008). The appreciative advising revolution. Champaign, IL:  Stipes Publishing.

  12. The Six Phases • Disarm: Make a positive first impression, build rapport, and create a safe, welcoming space. • Discover: Ask positive, open-ended questions to draw out students’ strengths, skills and abilities. Bloom, J. L., Hutson, B. L., & He, Y. (2008). The appreciative advising revolution. Champaign, IL:  Stipes Publishing.

  13. The Six Phases continued • Dream: Inquire about students’ vision for the future and help them develop life and career goals. • Design: Co-create a plan for making their dreams a reality. • Deliver: Encourage and support students as they follow through on their plans. • Don’t Settle: Challenge students to have high self-expectations. Bloom, J. L., Hutson, B. L., & He, Y. (2008). The appreciative advising revolution. Champaign, IL:  Stipes Publishing.
