The Advisory Guide
impressed by the way such a system personalizes school for secondary students, provides a
shared professional experience for the adults in a school, and improves home-school relations.
He decided that if given the opportunity, he would bring an advisory program to a secondary
school. Later, when he became founding administrator of a high school, he started an advisory
system. This book is based on his experiences. Goldberg explains why an advisory system is
important, what it requires, and how to tailor the concept to a particular school to provide an
enriched experience for students, staff, and parents.
An advisory system stresses the advisor-advisee relationship and ensures that every student is
know well by at least one adult in a school. That adult--a teacher, administrator, librarian, or
other staff member--becomes the student's advocate and the first person the student seeks out to
discuss school problem with or to get advice about where to turn for assistance with more serious
issues. Such a relationship enhances the student's school life, from course selection to decision
about the future. This practical book provides a comprehensive look at a unique system for
personalizing secondary school so students get the most out of there years in school and are
better prepared for life after graduation.
