ADVISORY/CLUB PROGRAM
Self-worth and a sense of belonging are very basic social and emotional needs of middle school students. The Advisory/Homeroom teacher program provides a setting that strives to meet these needs. This program emphasizes the human relationship skills required for positive interactions.
In Advisory/Homeroom, students have the opportunity to participate in activities designed to develop a positive self-image, improve study skills, better peer relationships, and learn cooperative participation and other skills needed to be successful. Advisory/Homeroom also provides a time for teachers, referred to as teacher/advisors, to be aware of the academic and social progress of their advisees and to interact with them individually.
Advisory/Homeroom Teacher Program Objectives:
- Support our healthy adult and student climate and culture and reinforce a culture of dignity for all.
- Recognize and motivate students who are displaying desired academic success and behavior.
- Identify a system of supports that are designed to meet the needs of both the advanced and struggling learners.
