Why AdvisoryIt is not a
new idea
No educational program can besuccessful without attending to thepersonal learning needs of individual
studentsAdvisement is one of the keycomponents of personalized education
and understanding it involves sorting out
the various definitions of guidance andcounseling.
(Keefe, J.W 1983 .Advisement--a helping role. The
Practitioner: NASSP).

AdvisoryIts a solid idea!
Student advisory programs provide anopportunity for middle level schools tointroduce an adult advocate into the life
of every student in the school. Manyyoung adolescents suffer from feelings of
isolation and loneliness, and advisory
activities allow them to connect withcaring adults and other students to help
them through the rough spots during themiddle level years
(Breaking Ranks in the Middle: Strategies for
leading middle level reform, 2006)

What Research Indicates
When students make a lasting connection with atleast one caring adult, academic and personaloutcomes improve. A significant adult who
provides support and direction during difficulttimes is an important factor in helping students
avoid academic failure and a variety of other
problems (Galassi, Gulledge, & Cox 1997, p.303).
