Chapter 1 - Building Skills for Collaboration and Success provides an opportunity for participants to think about and discuss the importance of the collaborative learning skills being modeled, taught, practiced, and assessed. Advisory requires that students work together in pairs, trios, and small groups. These are critical skills foundational to productive collaborative work, skills that have been identified as essential for success in the 21st century world of work. We often assume that adolescents come to collaborative group work with these skills in place. In fact, most students have not had formal skill training in this area.

Chapter 2 - Understanding Effort and Learning will enable participants to engage in a critical conversation about their role in supporting a "growth mindset" in students. Understanding adolescent mindsets has an impact on our teaching, coaching, and facilitation of our advisories. How do we define mindset? What is its relationship with effort and practice? Helping participants understand brain research on student mindsets and to role of effort and practice in skill development is critical to supporting the social, emotional, and academic growth of students.
-
Chapter 3 - Managing Emotions to Support Learning and Achievement provides participants with an opportunity to begin to explore the topic of supporting skill development in students to effectively manage their emotions and conflict. Very few students have had conflict management skills modeled or taught, and even fewer have had an opportunity to practice them. Not managing conflict significantly interferes with learning and social development, and this session is a good first step to learning conflict resolution.
