Discovery Session—Building a More Equitable Advisory System

If the last year has taught us anything, it’s that strong relationships between students and school staff members are critically important. Advisory systems are one important way that schools and districts ensure every student has a strong and supportive relationship with at least one staff member, but often the systems we have set up aren’t serving our students the way they should. During this virtual discovery session, participants will learn how advisory systems can improve outcomes for all students. Participants will also examine effective middle and high school advisory structures in order to build or refine their school’s or district’s own advisory system.

Participant Outcomes

At the Great Schools Partnership, our goal is to provide you with the knowledge and tools you need to make progress in your school, district, or community. As a participant, you will:

• Reflect on the current status and quality of your advisory system.
• Create a vision for a successful advisory system at your school or district.
• Experience activities that you can implement as part of your advisory system and for professional development purposes.

Intended For

Teams of educators from middle schools or high schools who are interested in improving and redesigning their advisory systems.

Format

This is an interactive, 3-hour event that will take place virtually over Zoom. We will not be recording the session.

If you have been registered along with others from your school, district, or organization, it is important that you log in to Zoom individually, in your own space, and on your own device. This is very important as you will be participating in several cross-team breakout sessions.
