This interactive workshop is designed to equip participants with strategies to foster student agency through intentional practices that can enhance any classroom setting. Participants will explore the foundations of advisory systems, clarifying an advisor’s role and discovering practical ways to build impactful, meaningful relationships with students. The session will cover essential concepts such as individualized learning plans (ILPs), community learning experiences, and reciprocal partnerships with community and industry to support authentic learning. These approaches can be adapted to various educational environments to inspire student ownership of learning.

Additionally, participants will gain insight into PAST’s MicroSchool model, hearing about how advisory has played a role in enhancing the experience of students who are participating in the program, leading to student empowerment and authentic learning experiences.
