IB
Learner Profile
Objective:
"The
purpose of advisory is to assure that every student belongs to a small peer
group attended by an adult mentor. Building upon a foundation of biweekly
meetings, the goal is to create a sense of belonging to the school, the team,
and the advisory group." (MSK
Handbook, p. 3)
What happens during
Advisory:
"Advisors
function as mentors, helping each of their advisees be successful. Individual
goal setting, time management, organizational skills and academic advising lie
at the heart of the program. Additional time is spent on monthly themes which
include respect, team building, asset building, recognizing diversity, character
education, healthy lifestyles, and reaching out to the community. Advisors tend
to be the adults who know the student best. They provide the vital home-school
communication link." (MSK
Handbook, p. 3)
Student-led conferences
Students will lead conferences with their
parents by using a portfolio collection of their work. In each portfolio will
be samples of exemplary work and samples of work in progress. The collection of
work which meets the Maine Guiding Principles and Learning Results will also be
a focus of advisory.
