Breakout Sessions
Breakout Session 1: 10:00 to 10:50 am
► Scaffolding Strategies in Advising — Allison Tifft, OSU-Tulsa
This presentation will introduce scaffolding as an instructional method and apply it to advising practices. Attendees will be encouraged to participate by identifying specific ways they can    implement this approach in their interaction with their students.
+   Sparking Passion Within Your Students — Austin Haytko, OSU
Have a less than enthusiastic student? Want them to feel the rush of discovery and the lasting effects of finding their true passion? Join in this interactive presentation to discover and share new ideas for helping students to find their educational passion.
*    Update on Cooperative Alliances with Technology Centers — Dr. Debbie Blanke, OSRHE
In response to Higher Learning Commission changes, Oklahoma institutions and technology   centers will change methods of offering and awarding college credit for  technical knowledge gained at a tech center.  We will discuss these changes and implications for advising students and parents.

Breakout Session 2: 11:00 am to 11:50 am
*    The Art of Positivity in Advising—Mark Nelson, OSU
In the span of their collegiate career, our students experience a multitude of emotions from   working with faculty to dealing with personal issues.  To better equip and prepare our students for these learning   experiences, We discuss and define G.R.I.T. as well as applying the concept to major and career exploration. To be an effective instructor, I have to practice what I teach. I hope to share my methods of positive advising conference attendees in hopes of assisting my peers with cracking the tough cases. If our students can sense and believe in us, they will ultimately believe in themselves.
●   Lighting the way for First Generation Students — Dr. Emily Griffin-Overocker, University of Central Oklahoma
At many institutions a record number of first generation students are attending college because earning a college degree is an increasingly necessary requirement for entry into the workforce.  Institutions need to identify the struggles these students face and factors that contribute to their success.  During this roundtable discussion, participants will share ideas from their campuses and brainstorm effective support strategies.
¨ “What We’ve Got Here is Failure to Communicate”: A Review of Communication
     Research on Student-Teacher Relationships—Natalie Sadler, Cameron University
The relationships students develop with instructors and co-students can have both positive and negative effects on student learning and engagement.  This presentation will review findings  regarding communication and its connection to student success, technology use, and classroom climate.  Attendees will have the opportunity to share best practices regarding how to help      students improve communication skills.
