Strong Advisory Programs

The biggest key to maintaining a strong advisory program is communication and trust in working together for a common goal. Students must trust in their teachers and parents to help them achieve the most they can and stay on task, while parents must trust teachers to steer their children in the right direction while at school, and teachers must trust parents and students to continue to work hard outside the classroom. Communication between the three is essential and builds this trust, allowing everyone to know what the goals and tasks are that will build towards the success looking to be achieved. Besides maintaining trust and communication, holding a sense of community, maintaining accountability, and being focused and on task are key pieces to a strong advisory program and team within a school. These pieces keep the people within the program close, successful, and develops everyone involved in a positive way through the experience.
