Our Goal
Working together to make sense of and build ownership and commitment to
the Student Success Advisor (SSA) role.

Why are coherent practice frameworks important?‘The Six Rs’...........
• Rationale for what I plan to do• Reflect and re-orient as I am working• Review what I have done or the effect I have had• Replicate what has worked• Re-design what hasn’t worked• Report to others what I have learnt

We are not ‘lone wolves’......as a network of SSAs we need a shared language!
![Page 13: Student Success Advisor Training Foundation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ee8550346895dcd9937/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What are the general practice frameworks that we will use? Our Shared Language
1. Student Transition2. Student lifecycle 3. Levels of systems intervention 4. Facets of academic culture
![Page 14: Student Success Advisor Training Foundation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ee8550346895dcd9937/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
1. Transition Model for student success: The Five Senses of Success
![Page 15: Student Success Advisor Training Foundation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ee8550346895dcd9937/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Five Senses of Student Success
(Lizzio, 2006)
Sense ofStudentIdentity
Sense of Connectedness
Sense of Capability
Sense of Purpose
Sense of Resourcefulness
![Page 16: Student Success Advisor Training Foundation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ee8550346895dcd9937/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How might we as SSAs facilitate student’s successful transition?
![Page 17: Student Success Advisor Training Foundation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ee8550346895dcd9937/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How might we as SSAs facilitate our student’s successful transition?
Sense of Identity: Help me understand, validate and appreciate myself as a university student.
Sense of Connection: Help me to belong and feel connected.
Sense of Resourcefulness: Help me to navigate this system and my competing priorities.
Sense of Capability: Help me to feel confident and capable as a student.
Sense of Purpose: Help me to develop a sense of direction and commitment.

2. The Student Lifecycle
![Page 19: Student Success Advisor Training Foundation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ee8550346895dcd9937/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Student Lifecycle
Students’ needs, identities and developmental priorities vary over their degree....
ThereforeWe need to understand and respond with developmentally appropriate services and interventions at key points of the lifecycle.
![Page 20: Student Success Advisor Training Foundation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ee8550346895dcd9937/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Pre-semester Front-loaded Outreach Interventions Initiate from point of offer negotiated engagement consultations with “late
engagers” (students identified at risk of early discontinuation based on distal indicators (viz., low OP x low preference x LOTE x low SES)
Mid-Semester Front-loaded Outreach InterventionsWorking with other staff to retain students who may ‘migrate’ or ‘transfer’
to other universities (e..g, high OP low preference)Active Ongoing Profiling and Monitoring of StudentsBuilding and maintaining a CRM ‘practice database’ on the engagement and
performance of identified sub-groups of students (e.g., international)

If we are to be ‘game changers’ and ‘transformers’ for our students then we need to consciously examine our notions of ‘student
support’...
![Page 49: Student Success Advisor Training Foundation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ee8550346895dcd9937/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Student Support in Higher Education: Traditional Conception: The language of ‘deficits’
What do you associate with the term ‘student support’? ‘Barriers to success’ are conceptualised as being located
within individual students. Positions the student as ‘having a problem’ with which they
‘need help’. Systems basic-assumptions (e.g., starting academic capital)
are generally unquestioned in the face of diversity• Diversity is confounded with deficit with the consequence
that non-traditional students are more likely to feel marginalised
![Page 50: Student Success Advisor Training Foundation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ee8550346895dcd9937/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Student Support in Higher Education: Transformational Conception: The language of ‘strengths’
What do you associate with the term ‘facilitating student success’?
‘Barriers to success’ are conceptualised as being located in student, society and university.
Systems basic-assumptions (e.g., culture) are open to questioning and re-design in the face of diversity
Diversity is conceptualised as inclusive of a range of strengths and identities with the consequence that non-traditional students are more likely to feel respected and valued.
![Page 51: Student Success Advisor Training Foundation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ee8550346895dcd9937/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
If we are to be ‘game changers’ and ‘transformers’ for our students then we need to consciously examine our approach to ‘student diversity’ ........

Evolutionary States of Diversity1. Denial: I treat everyone the same
2. Frustrated awareness: I know people are different but there is not much I can do about it
3. Tolerance: I put up with difference and make some minor adjustments
4. Remediation: I fix students’ problems so they can cope better with my expectations
5. Active engagement: I work with my students to understand their strengths, preferences and needs
![Page 53: Student Success Advisor Training Foundation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ee8550346895dcd9937/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
If we are to be ‘game changers’ and ‘transformers’ for our students then we need to consciously examine our notions of ‘student risk’...
![Page 54: Student Success Advisor Training Foundation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ee8550346895dcd9937/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Systems understanding ofStudent Risk
We need to honestly acknowledging that there are multiple sources of student risk:
1. Students can mis-judge or assume expectations and requirements
2. Staff can mis-judge or assume students’ entry level capabilities
3. Students can experience personal or system’s blocks to help-seeking or receiving
![Page 55: Student Success Advisor Training Foundation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ee8550346895dcd9937/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
If we are to be ‘game changers’ and ‘transformers’ for our students then we need to consciously examine our notions of ‘how to help people to be successful’......
![Page 56: Student Success Advisor Training Foundation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ee8550346895dcd9937/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Our Goal: Co-Creating a Student Success Culture
Focusing on a proactive, outreach approach to facilitating students’ understanding of:
What unique ‘eye’ and ‘voice’ do they each bring How might their personal capacities and experiences be useful? How they achieve What is successful learning at University?What they need to do to be successful What are the predictors of academic success at Uni?What personal and institutional resources they require to achieve
that success What external resources are available at the Course/School/Uni level?What inner resources do students need to develop?
![Page 57: Student Success Advisor Training Foundation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ee8550346895dcd9937/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Our Strategy: Negotiated Student Engagement
While recognising & acknowledging the competing pressures influencing student priorities, we also need to establish the non-negotiables required for academic success:
Orientation to academic study and the level of application (time & commitment) required for successful performance
For NT first-in-family students this also involves building academic capital & deconstructing the “Hidden Curriculum”
The role of the SSA is key to negotiated engagement
![Page 58: Student Success Advisor Training Foundation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ee8550346895dcd9937/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Negotiated Student Engagement
• The normalisation of student diversity in HE also involves a parallel process of the normalisation of the diversity of student support needs for success
• The reality is that while ALL students need some type of support
• Different students need different types & amounts of support
• And at different points across their first year, & the student degree lifecycle

Transformational Language
• Facilitating Student Success through contributing to cultures of supported independence in Schools/Programs is inclusive of all students
• Negotiated Engagement sits at the heart of facilitating a Student Success Culture of supported independence
• We need to think in terms of student success culture rather than student support

If we are to be ‘game changers’ and ‘transformers’ for our students then we need to consciously examine ourselves........
• Our thinking about risk and diversity• Our language in describing our work to ourselves
and others• Our behaviour towards people from backgrounds
different to our own• Our capacity to facilitate the conditions for success
