2020-2021 brings with it the potential of more remote advising, socially distanced advising and/or a hybrid of the two.
The new resources reflect the need to be flexible and responsive.
Advisors and students have asked for more joy, collaborative play and time to engage with real life adulting skills. Enter The 4 Cs: Community, Collaboration, College and Career
Hot Topics remains a useful tool to use when discussing topics of interest to student and community.
Advisors have said that students need academic advising earlier in the week, and that a positive, uplifting 4Cs routine or ritual feels like a great way to wrap up the week.
A menu for each routinized and ritualized day -- allows us to move towards grade level goals while responding to the needs of our group.
Thank you Advisory Team Student Leader and Tyee alum Tarekegn Kabeto for this video about the impact of advisory at Tyee.
“In the end, it seems, the main point of a good advisory program is to help the student feel that it matters what they are doing with their mind and their life and to recognize the ways in which the two relate. ‘The advisor is often the only adult in school who has a clear notion of a student's whole schedule, whole day, and whole life,’ says Rick Lear, a senior researcher at the Coalition of Essential Schools. ‘It makes the system much more sensitive when a kid has a problem. The adviser has a sense of whether the problem lies in an academic area, or with a particular teacher, or in some life problem. Advisors become advocates for kids in the system ...It communicates that everyone is valued here.’”
