Secondary Advisory

Social Emotional Learning

Advisory

Students do best when their social-emotional needs are met and they feel connected to not only their peers but to the adults in the school environment. Therefore, Advisory at ISU is designed to facilitate and build relationships amongst students, teachers, and the community. Our objective is to help students understand who they are, who they want to be and to give them the tools and opportunities to get there. The advisory class should become ‘a home base’ at school and will include but are not limited to:

• Check-in and reminders

• Provide a positive start to the day

• Support intellectual & social emotional growth

• Encourage character building

• Promote community connection and responsibility
