  13. Definition of Personalization Personalization is a learning process in which schools help students assess their own talents and aspirations, plan a pathway toward their own purposes, work cooperatively with others on challenging tasks, maintain a record of their explorations, and demonstrate learning against clear standards in a wide variety of media, all with the close support of adult mentors and guides (Clarke, 2003)

  14. What is an Advisory? • Supportive and stable peer group that meets regularly with an advisor • Organizational structure in which one small group of students identifies with and belongs to one educator, who nurtures, advocates for, and shepherds through school the individuals in the group • Caring environment for academic guidance and support, everyday administrative details, recognition and activities to promote citizenship

  15. What an advisory is NOT: • Substitute for Guidance Counselor • Mental Health Therapist • Homeroom Monitor
