Advisory / Hawk Time is the perfect opportunity to build authentic relationships with and among students and build a sense of community in your room. “A homeroom or advisory… when properly structured to meet adolescent needs, can promote social development, assist students in their academic programs, facilitate positive involvement among teachers, administrators, and students, and provide adult advocacy and a positive climate in the school community. It all happens through safe, engaging, guided peer-to-peer activities that build social emotional skills and connections across differences. Students greet each other respectfully and then share interesting, meaningful activities that draw them together. They become more open to diverse people and cultures, ready to take a stand for equity." You can find the advisory lessons here: FACE TO FACE ADVISORY LESSONS There are two types of advisory lessons you'll find in this "Face to Face Advisories" article:
CPR ADVISORY FORMAT The Circle of Power and Respect (CPR) format for advisories is ideal for creating inclusive communities. Each activity contains four key components: Daily News—Previews the advisory activity’s focus and helps students shift into thinking gear as they transition from home to school. Greeting—Teaches students to respectfully greet someone they hardly know or don’t particularly like. Share—Provides time to talk about daily issues as well as challenging topics like bias, discrimination, justice and acceptance. Activity—Connects students through play and activities that allow them to voice their opinions and discover commonalities. ACTIVITY PLUS (A+) ADVISORY FORMAT The A+ format allows more time for the final activity, which allows students to reflect on the implications of what they have learned or thought or heard—for them personally, for the school community and/or for society. *Hope you find all or some of these worthwhile. Remember to share with your PLC or in an email if you've tried any of these lessons. Let us all know how they went for you and your students!
