Advisory |
|
Advisory Advisory teaches communication, leadership, goal setting and acceptance of self and others. Students learn to resolve conflicts through communication skills rather than violence. Classroom teachers can focus on teaching and students can focus on learning. (NASSP Bulletin, April 1995). Once you understand the value of the advisory program it becomes a matter of passion and patience, a passion for the value and for making it happen, and the patience to see the results. |
