Middle School Advisory: GRADE 6
Advisories give students a time and place where their non-academic needs can be addressed and supportive relationships can be developed. Teachers will facilitate discussions on relevant themes and provide students with a safe, non-judgmental environment. They will help students to discuss and possibly solve immediate concerns or problems, and help students in setting and reviewing goals.
The sixth grade Advisory encompasses four broad themes. Each quarter will focus on one theme and is arranged to mimic the development of a 6th grader throughout the school year. Optional topics are listed for each theme and teachers are asked to cover as many topics as they see fit. Also included are links to suggested activities and resources that may be used to facilitate discussions. Teachers are free to use other appropriate resources.
- Organization (Quarter 1): Information and resources that promote the basic rules and regulations for school
- Academic (Quarter 2): Skills and choices students make to enhance their academic growth
- Social (Quarter 3): Skills and choices students need to understand and utilize for great relationships
- Transition (Quarter 4): Information and resources that help students understand the changes in style and structure of their current school/year/program
