An Integrated Approach to Individual Student Planning
Vision: Weslaco ISD inspires and empowers all students to explore their interests and equip them with the knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy to pursue post-secondary goals to reach their full, unique potential leading to a successful career path.
Mission: Weslaco ISD will provide learning opportunities, a complete educational experience, and effective post-secondary advising for all K-12 students to help them be college, career, or military-ready.
The EAF is aligned with the Effective Schools Framework (ESF) and the Effective District Framework (EDF) and supports districts in a systematic approach to improving the individual planning system for all students. It uses a framework defined by district commitments, levers, essential actions, and key practices to develop a common vision and actionable goals, which leads to system effectiveness and student outcomes.
The Effective Advising Framework defines five key levers that form the foundation of effective advising programs. For each lever, the framework outlines commitments that must be made at the district and campus levels to enable programmatic success, and essential actions that must be taken to propel that success.

The five key levers include (1) Strong Program Leadership and Planning; (2) Effective, Well-Supported School Counselors and Advisors; (3) Internal School Culture of Advising; (4) Effective External Partnerships; and (5) High-Quality Advising Materials and Assessments.
