Brief History of Advisory Program: Brief History of Advisory Program

Leadership: Leadership Year One The BayCES coach managed and coordinated all aspects of the advisory program. An ad hoc group of 4-6 staff members met on a monthly basis to give feedback and suggestions. Year Two Six grade-level coordinators manage, direct, and coordinate all aspects of their grade-level program. The BayCES coach now provides support to individual coordinators as needs arise.

Assessments: Assessments Year One One student survey was administered to get feedback on a range of topics, some including aspects of the advisory program. Year Two All grade-levels complete surveys, rubrics, or portfolio assessments from 1-3 times per semester. The data is reviewed by advisors to adjust and meet the needs of their advisees.

Connections to SLC: Connections to SLC Year One Advisory was not utilized as a structure to support the goals and priorities of the SLCs. It was seen more as a separate entity. Year Two Advisory is becoming more utilized to complement and help address SLC goals and priorities (e.g., interventions, goal-setting, conferencing, strategic tutoring, etc.).
