What can four middle schools tell us about recharging Advisories when staff and students team up to tackle how to get the most out of them? This site shares the plans and progress of four schools in a pilot project sponsored by the St. Louis Rams.
Advisories go by many names but are times in which an adult and small group of students meet regularly in the school setting. Huddle Up in Advisory explores their potential to build trusting relationships; support academic and character-based goals; increase student voice and leadership; and promote active citizenship and service.
- Whether you’ve had advisories for awhile or are just starting,
get people on board by asking the question: “What are the goals of our Advisories?”

students to make these things happen within your Advisory.
