This manual provides a comprehensive, how-to perspective on the professional development of advisors and the strengthening of advisory programs in private-independent schools. While this book is intended for private school educators, we also hope that advisory program leaders in charter, magnet, and other public schools will find benefit in these pages as well. We have learned that readers of this book, regardless of type of school, are typically seeking a more robust and meaningful advisory program, one that is much more than simply "homeroom" and one that is built on the connection between advisor professional development and student well-being. "A comprehensive guide to creating and strengthening advisory-the why, the how, the keys to success, the pitfalls to avoid, and the ways advisory can enrich the culture of the school." -- Robert Evans, Executive Director, The Human Relations Service "A strong advising program is crucial in keeping a school's mission alive and vibrant in the daily life of the school. Unfortunately, most schools provide little, if any, professional development for faculty to support this important role, creating an inconsistent experience for its students. Whether a school is looking to start an advisory program, rejuvenate one, or provide concrete professional development for its faculty, Roger Dillow's Mission-Based Advisory: A Professional Development Manual is an important resource for all schools." -- Douglas H. Lagarde, Head of School, Severn School (MD) "Whether your school is implementing an advisory program or looking to renew one, this book provides workable strategies that are mission-driven. The suggested activities-for the advisory program and for advisor professional development-contribute to the development and sustainability of positive school culture and social-emotional learning for your students. I'm going to use this book with my Lead Advisory Group as we look to enhance our Middle School program." -- Kathryn Christoph, Middle School Principal, Dwight-Englewood School (NJ) "Mission-Based Advisory: A Professional Development Manual comprehensively frames the professional role of advisors and advisory programs and the meaningful relationships that develop between students and trusted adults in independent schools. More than ever, mission-driven independent schools are seeking ways to highlight the value added for students and families; implementation and application of an effective advisory program is a powerful example of value added and a distinctive quality of our schools. The personalized approach to advisory ensures that all students are supported through their academic and social/emotional growth. The strong interpersonal ties cultivated in advisory programs allow students to be known and valued with advisors supporting them in appropriate and significant ways. This Manual provides guidance for deans, counselors, administrators, and advisors to develop a new program or move an existing program to the next level." -- Irene G. Mortensen, Director of Studies, Gill St. Bernard's School (NJ)
