Identify Needs and Addressing Needs Indicator Group
How AA identifies needs?
▪ Start with the student and their experiences and academic background, and identify what their physical, social and emotional needs may be
▪ Use Student Development Theory to identify needs by hiring staff who are familiar and have experience in these areas.
▪ UNI Curriculum in a way determines their academic needs. We try to match the academic background with the student.
▪ Also use the ACT scores to determine placement and Core Curriculum from high school and how that fits into their background. National Curriculum Survey broke down core curriculum to determine core curriculum and ethic backgrounds.
▪ NACADA assessment motivated change to Intake Model. Areas determined with large advising needs were identified…Invited colleges with large loads to initially be part of the Intake Model.
▪ Academic Departments such as English, Math, etc determine the ACT scores for placement into their majors.
How AA addresses needs? uni.edu/advising
▪ Intake Model (See website for more information)
▪ Piloting Podcasts to inform students of various advising/academic needs and areas
▪ Orientation-Play a large part in preparing students for the transition academically to UNI
▪ Participation in campus events
ACT Advisories come from department based on their research for specific areas. That is where the Data comes from and personal experiences.
No special groups queries for needs identification. Feels that if this was in place it would help would help retain and maintain students, and help predict needs for classes.
