The Advisory Guide: Designing and Implementing Effective Advisory Programs in Secondary Schools

My school is lucky to have Joe DeMartino consulting, and our advisory planning team has been able to spend several days working with him. As we were planning activities for the coming year, this book became one of our key resources for finding activities that would help our students learn the academic and personal skills that we outlined in our goals. Many of the activities are a bit general, but they are easily developed into more detailed plans, or they can be left in relatively simple terms, which allows teachers/advisors to modify them to better fit each advisory group. It also anticipates many of the planning issues that you may face, and it offers a variety of ways to organize and plan activities.

This book takes virtually every question a school needs to consider and gives you the benefits/issues of each choice you make. You can make decisions without second guessing.

We purchased this resource to assist us in the redesign of our advisory progeam and found that it served as the most useful resource of the many we used.

Excellent
