Staff Survey Question: Do you feel advisory has been beneficial to students this year?
Please describe examples of the activities you’ve implemented in advisory
this year.
Other Staff (n=7 other staff: 7 responses*)
1. Advisory was not VALUED by the Leadership Team. Only scheduled for 22 minutes a day during
lunches it was a complete failure. Not enough time to do meaningful lessons or to create
bonds between students in order to get to “know” each other better. Many teachers did not
even “DO” advisory because there was no supervision of the advisory program.
2. Hi Lo Restorative Circles have been good. The 22 minutes too short. The timing of advisory
during the busy lunch hour not good.
3. Not all teachers made good use of the time allotted.
4. not consistent
5. The advisory period was too short. Personalization was attainable but activities were limited
due to time constraints.
6. Unknown
7. Yes, when properly implemented, many students this year have benefited from participation in
Advisory classes; most specifically for support with CCA’s, portfolios, and Senior Projects.
