What is Structured Advisory?
Advisories help build culture and develop relationships and thus can be the key to developing student-centered schools. It's crucial that advisories focus on relationship building: students' relationships to themselves, their peers, and adults.
- With younger learners, advisories often take the form of Morning Meetings, Circles, Council or other restorative structures.
- With older learners, advisories enable students to form a vision, set a course, change course, and grow competence with meaningful peer and adult support.
- Advisory is a place where students can explore their individual learner profiles and set goals for academics, career, and life. It is one path to integrating social-emotional learning into a school's rhythms and creating safe, healthy, and sustaining learning environments (BPS Essential 1.4).
