The Need for Appreciative Advising within Inner-City High Schools
- Nicole Aisling Kaforski (The University of South Carolina)
Abstract
Inner-city high school students typically do not receive encouragement or positive relationships within their academic and home environments. Introducing the Appreciative Advising framework model to inner-city schools will allow educators, counselors, and advisors alike to create a more supportive and caring environment for these students. These steps to reaching out to their students will ultimately make students feel more comfortable approaching and speaking with their mentors. As a result, mentors can use the Appreciative Advising framework model to get to know their students, and serve as supporters and guides for these students on their personal and academic journeys.
