About this title

Synopsis

In private-independent schools, the advisory program provides a mission-based plan for student learning and development that is the cornerstone of effective schools. This research-driven, practical, and strategic approach to advisory significantly enhances the individual student experience and thus your school's ability to retain and recruit your students. This manual provides a comprehensive, "how-to" perspective on the professional development of advisers and the strengthening of advisory programs, particularly in private schools. You will learn the underlying principles of advisory, the best practices for your advisory program, how to design your student counseling program, how to better support your students, how to develop your faculty's skills in student counseling, how to increase buy-in among your teachers for your advisory program, the difference between group and individual advisory, yellow- and red-light issues, the marketing implications of your advisory program, and much more. Also included are forms and tools that can be photocopied, ISM's Student Culture Profile, and many other practical items that can be used immediately.
