The Plan and Execution
Advisory Curriculum Development
Key Components
Identifying the Need for Change

Common Issues Before Implementation:

Advisory was treated as a free period, leading to low engagement.
-
Teachers were not given clear guidance, making implementation inconsistent.
-
Students lacked self-regulation strategies and didn’t see the value in Advisory.
Goals for the New Curriculum:
-
Standardized framework across two schools
-
Structured progression from 9th to 12th grade
-
AVID-based strategies to build student organization, reading, writing, inquiry, and collaboration skills
-
CCR and SEL focus to guide students toward college and career readiness
