Do you want to build a culture of belonging, support and respect in your school?
The ‘Advisory Online’ course is about the ethos, structure and roles associated with a learning community known as an ‘advisory’ in Big Picture Education.
The nature of advisory is encourage students to operate as a cohesive group, while also encouraging students to pursue their own learning around personal interests and passions.
