Advising as Teaching
“Advising as Teaching” was delivered as the President's Address at the 1991 NACADA National Conference in Louisville, Kentucky. In her address Ryan identified characteristics of effective teaching and those of effective advising from the literature and explored their parallels. She argued that faculty should be encouraged to view advising as an extension of their teaching role and made specific suggestions about applying teaching skills in the advising encounter.
