Advisory Design for Implementing Student-Centered Advisory Porgrams

Imagine, Align, Renew

Advisory is most powerful when it reflects a school’s mission and SEL values. You’ll clarify your “North Star,” imagine what a flourishing advisory looks like, and reflect on how students and teachers experience it. Through quick, interactive exercises, you’ll surface what’s working well, name what could be even better, and leave with renewed energy and purpose for aligning your advisory.

Insights & Strategies

Advisory thrives when vision meets structure. This course offers practical insights for designing programs that fit your time and context—whether 10, 30, or 60 minutes. We’ll explore grouping choices and lesson flow, alongside systems for training and sustaining advisors. You’ll walk away with adaptable strategies, ready-to-use activities, and clear ways advisory fits into a whole community approach to SEL.
