Two Day Professional Development Community and trust don’t occur just because we all come to school, and everyone is following the schedule. They are built deliberately, piece by piece, out of every encounter between one person and another. Unlike chance encounters in the hall, or conversations at lunch, or even teacher-led classroom discussions, the advisory provides a place where interactions are purposefully designed. And, it’s all in the structures. Learn the proven Developmental Designs advisory structures of the Circle of Power and Respect (CPR) and The Activity Plus (A+). These advisory meetings, when consistently implemented gives students an ongoing opportunity to build strong, trusting relationships with their peers and teachers. In this highly interactive learning opportunity, participants will:
- experience both CPR and A+ structures and their components
- understand the frames of mind and skills that teachers need to implement advisory successfully
- discover how to structure advisories to connect students to school, to each other, and the adults at school
- learn how to introduce and advance advisory activities appropriately to make students feel comfortable joining in
- acquire strategies that support the academic day with intentional advisory content
- experience how to model and practice the life skills of respectful greeting, conversation, cooperation, and self-regulation
